I don't understand how you were sending these viruses unless you were doing it manually, e.g. by forwarding mail from elsewhere. It's extremely unlikely that the viruses were affecting your own machine. > I installed Clam TK and found viruses called Phishing. I deleted the > files.

Better still, if viruses are a serious problem in your environment, why not run it as part of your mail-fetching process? I think that's the way it's intended to be used, but I'm no Clam expert. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
