I have a rules.ima file in the main IMail folder, supposedly protecting all domains right ? Here are the first couple of lines. McAffee reported that my webmaster's mailbox was infected with the badtrans.eml virus.... how did that happen, and why didn't the rules.ima work.

I have the same virus defs that you do. When I get a file that is capable of containing a virus, I check it. The last thing I want is some sysadmin incapably playing mom by telling me what's good for me. But, I did get a chuckle.
