Below is my current list of rules running on V 7.05 on a Win 2000 server.
They do very well filtering out most harmful attachments, both inbound and
outbound.  I know I should drop Declude and F-protect on my system, and I
will.  The last rule I set up to get the latest virus prevents anyone from
sending the subject line "Re: Your password!" to anyone at my domain BUT
doesn't prevent it from being sent OUT from my domain.  So in theory,
someone could get this virus on their computer where they have outlook
set-up with multiple e-mail address and it could still read my domain from
the registry keys and send out from my domain. IS there any reason why this
rule is only working one way? Can I stop it from sending out?

You're quite welcome Sean,

Good job on the addition of the filter and if you need a copy of our
rules.ima, kill.lst, and smtpd32.acc files please let me know Off Topic
(OT).  You really should consider an AV solution - most viruses that
cripple corporations have been introduced via email.  We use Declude
with the F-Prot for Dos and I can't give them enough praise.  80% of our
email is what I have coined "SPorn" (Spam and Porn) of which about 10%
of that is virus infected. My OT email is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Regards,

~Rick
