Hello, The current qmail-scanner port with clamav and f-prot both scanning for viruses fails on 4 of the testvirus.org messages. #20, #21, #23, and #25 All get through and land in my inbox. portupgrade -rva says I am all up to date. A virus scanner that only stops *some* of the older viruses is um... silly? Ok it is not really silly, but it hardly seems worth the effort to maintain a port that has to be manually patched etc. I have contacted the qmail-scanner maintainer and this is close to being resolved. I am not sure what it will take to help this guy get his port released. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=64274 By the time it is finally resolved and the port is released, we will likely all be faced with yet another series of M$ worms that the *latest* port version won't catch/block/stop. I am not simply complaining, or just pointing this out. I am offering my assistance to maintain at least these three ports to keep them up to date. I am considering abandoning the ports altogether and just going back to the source for these packages but I would much rather spend the effort making the ports available for everyone. Please advise. Rick
