No. That means password protected zips can be used for new viruses. My solution is to force the vendors to put the files on a password protected website where my folks can go grab them. Since we have to reach out, there is little chance of automatic propagation....
Yeah, that would definitely help defeat propagation. Too bad there's no easy way to really defeat social engineering, though.
Then again I'm paranoid.
Me, too. I agree that high security is extremely important.
And using a web or FTP site occurred to me. I tend to think of email as a bad choice for sending big files around anyway. So thanks for everyone's input, I think I'm settling on that solution now.
Seems like too many potential problems with removing or lowering the level of security on the email server and virus scanner. So probably best to avoid that.
And if I have any more questions about this, I'll stop bothering ClamAV people and go looking for Amavis help instead. ;)
Thanks again!!
