I setup Declude Virus with F-Prot last night. So far it has found 7 viruses
since this morning. This server is not even in major production yet. It
only has about 25 domains.
I like the fact that it emails the client, sender, me, and the orginal mail
server that a virus was sent.
I received a message from another Imail server running Declude Virus that my
system sent out a virus. Of course this is not on my Imail server running
Declude Virus yet.
