It's not that difficult if you've properly set up the system to check for outgoing viruses as well as incoming viruses. You need only send a sample virus to a friend or test address. ClamAV doesn't care which way the bug is going - it should reject it before it leaves the building. Checking for outgoing viruses does seem to be an alien concept for some mail admins, though. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
