I'm using ClamAV right now, and it is good Some small issue with .zip files, sometimes If you had thousands of clients using Outlook, and they got hit with Mydoom for example, it will fill the mailq with huge amounts of infected Emails. Would milter based Antivirus be the solution to Blocking Clients Connections? Cheers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mustafa N. Deeb Technical Director Palnet Communications Ltd.
