What about a web page that contains a jpeg immage with exploits ? the user either has to click on the page or it possably opens automatically for them. By your reasioning, this is not an issue for clam ? But if the same image was in the message, then it *IS* clamav's responsibility to detect it ... Granted, by default clamav won't scan remote links for dangers, but it *IS* an option. I think *most* users don't mind the removal of *ALL* email that is clasified as virus / spam / uce / etc. > > _______________________________________________ > http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users > -- Ken Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] (630) 548-1627 (Home) (630) 263-3574 (Cell) https://www.kenandlori.com Y! : [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: ptownjones ICQ: 9807841 _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
