Actually the explanation is not wrong. It says your *mail server* should detect and stop them, and it should... ff you are going to serve mail to any Microsoft based products. It does *not* say your antivirus solution should detect them. In the case of #24 accepting fragmented emails is policy issue. If you allow fragmented emails there is no way you can scan the contents, as they arrive, as a whole. There are ways to catch them (I don't allow them on any of our servers) and detection of such is not clam's job. In the case of #25 accepting an attachment with CLSID extension, if you are delivering to Microsoft based products, is a very bad idea (but not clam's job) Rick -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
