In addition, I'm not an ISP, but if I were and I had a customer that did not want their email scanned for viruses, then I don't think I would want them on my network anyway. What possible motivation, other than clandestine, could someone have to not wanting their email scanned for viruses? Its like not wanting your car washed each time you take it in for service. Do you like a dirty car? I wouldn't mind having mine cleaned!!

My practice is to avoid sticking my digits in the toilet. Some servicemen were about to leave the restroom. One was standing at the sink. He said to the other, "In the navy, they taught us to wash our hands after going to the bathroom." The other said, "In the army they taught us not to pee on our hands." The third said, "In the air force we learned how to hold it." (I just added the last one to this old joke.) >Realize that there are virus infection vectors other than email and you need >to protect yourself from all of them. No one measure can ever be enough. I was referring to hosts censoring emails that have specific enclosures. I do understand the need to protect your servers, though. And I certainly see the need for it for Intranets and companies that have networks that can be affected by a single user's mistake.
