All mail-borne viruses were outgoing from somewhere but unscanned or unsuccessfully scanned. It's very much worth the effort, what ever that means. It is no sweat to me to scan them - I barely know it's happening as it's all automated. I'm only seeing a million messages a week so I'm not the largest shop on the net, but we do see outgoing viruses. Not only that, but we trap a lot of outgoing spam, too. If we wouldn't accept it why would we send it? BTW, gathering a list of those who do not scan outgoing is very helpful for the rest of us as it makes blacklisting them sooo easy. Thanks for helping. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
