[IMail Forum] MAILER-DAEMON sending virus?

[Dale McDiarmid]

Hello...

I'm getting a warning message a few times each week from Declude as it's catching an outgoing virus. I'm not certain what it means, exactly. I've included the text of the message below.

What is MAILER-DAEMON, and how is it sending a virus?

The "to": "MyUser" (name changed to protect the innocent) is constant in each of these messages, as is the virus (Lentin). Getting a few a of these outgoing virus warnings a week.

My mailserv and the MyUser client are clean of viruses (F-Prot with current def's), though it's possible MyUser is using a home computer I'm not aware of. We use Eudora, the messages indicate OE.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, D.
Declude message follows: (IIRC, the format is the default used by Declude for outging viruses).
