No idea... You usually get removed automatically
when your email bounces for a while. Or maybe it
bounced because some misguided blacklist did not
like your IP or your email provider? In any case
it is nice that you are back :-)).

Thanks. Actually it would be very good to have human
links, including a link from your FDUPDATE homepage
to the FDUPDATE repository, so people can see which
updates are available and can download them directly
in case their DOS computer has no internet installed.
Maybe you can also create a "by date" and a "by name"
sorted view of the repository page :-).

Hmm okay ;-)

By the way, did anybody check whether it still likes
the clamav database files of today...? For example for
f-prot I have the gut feeling that the old DOS version
(while somebody said it does support current database
files) is less efficient in hunting viruses because it
has an older version of the engine / cannot make full
use of the information from the virus database files.
