Fritz,

Are you advocating using the ASSP integrated ClamAV as the only AntiVirus 
checker in the email stream for incoming email?  Has ASSP been modified to 
decode Uuencoded emails?  We often get virus's that pass right through ASSP 
with Uuencoded viral attachments, necessitating a second solution that 
decodes those emails before passing through its AV checker.  For example, 
this latest virus run that attached EXE's.  ASSP is configured to block 
EXE's but let 245 through in the last 3 days.  I am not running the 
integrated ClamAV as I still have to scan every email that passes through 
ASSP to catch Uuencoded viruses with another scanner.  Before this latest 
run, very few Uuencoded virus attachments made it through ASSP, but anyone 
relying on ASSP/ClamAV to protect then from this latest 'Storm Worm" virus 
run will be hosed.
