... Very useful. I started using these signatures on this University's mail servers on Monday. Appended below are the stats on the incoming crap they stopped yesterday (Tuesday).

So these signatures account for some 60% of what was detected. [1] I'm blocking on several RBLs and using other methods for reducing incoming rubbish. These may well be preventing a lot of viruses even reaching the scanning stage. -- Dennis Davis, BUCS, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +44 1225 386101 _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
