Thankfully the port sets that up, and I read the documentation. qscand 2476 0.0 0.2 1520 896 ??

First of all it is the qmail-scanner port itself that is missing password protected .zip files because it is a version behind still. Maybe you missed the relevant portions of the original post. Secondly, the most recent vendor's most recent definitions don't always work when you are a version or two behind on the scan engine itself. Thirdly, I am not complaining. I am trying to help all the users of these ports by shedding light on the facts. Of course I (we) have the ability to manually install these packages using the current sources and if I get many more replies like this I will just do that and forget about trying to help make these ports work properly. If I (we) have to do that then why even bother to maintain a FreeBSD port for these packages at all if they don't work effectively? Lastly, my point is these "ports" are all current according to "portupgrade -rva" and have current virus definitions yet the combination allow viruses to get through. This seems somewhat relevant to FreeBSD ports to me. So now that we have cleared up a few things, who wants to discuss a strategy to maintain an effective FreeBSD virus-scanner port for qmail? Rick
