Hmmm....we are currently already using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 with engine 4.2.60 and Dat version 4304 (Nov 14.) I use a batch file to copy the DAT files daily to the folder for use be the command line scanner after the McAfee auto-update. Our mail servers are updated daily with the latest DAT files and engine using McAfee Auto-update Architect so I am puzzled how the message could contain a detectible virus when you received it and how it not only got in through 3 levels of inbound virus protection, but also how did it get to you from me with 3 levels of outgoing virus protection.

I would never knowingly send a live virus in an email message. It was indeed sent in response to a post to this list. I double-checked, and it appears that the message was indeed sent in a way that should be safe (not executable). I'm guessing that we have a virus scanner here that tries to look for viruses within E-mails, but doesn't do it properly. It was caught here as W32/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I would recommend upgrading to the latest version of McAfee (.exe file) as well as downloading the latest virus definitions. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
