I just got this "nice" message from a remote mail server about Declude:
This isn't about Declude -- it's about almost all mailserver AV programs (I have a list of dozens of them that do this). In fact, Declude Virus is (as far as we know) the only AV program that *doesn't* have the flaw that they are complaining about (if you keep Declude up-to-date).
Less than 1% of viruses forge the return address of E-mail, but many of the widespread viruses do. Because of this, you need to either turn off notifications based on the return address of the E-mail, or make sure that everything is up to date. With versions of Declude Virus released after early 2002, the default .eml files from our site will prevent the notifications from getting sent out when a forged virus is detected.
With the latest beta version of Declude Virus, you don't even need to keep the .eml files updated (we have a server set up that keeps track of which viruses are forging viruses). It also allows us to keep track of what IPs are sending viruses (so we can report to the correct sender), as well what viruses are most common. We just added a page at http://apps.declude.com/tools/virinfo.ch that lists the most recent viruses.
