Same observation here. 90-95% of my traffic is some sort of crap (spam, phishing/fraud, viruses, attachments with dangerous filenames), yes. But a very very small percentage of that is detected viruses and attachments with dangerous filenames (we reject both during SMTP). The VAST majority of what we're rejecting with ClamAV these days is phishing/fraud stuff. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
