I've found that clamav *will* catch it (the binhex test), assuming it's not sent directly. The problem is that clamav only enables the mail decoding function if the first word of the file passed to it is one of a number of key words. Where a previous MTA has stuck a Received: header as the first line all is well, however when it's sent directly (as from testvirus.org) that magic header isn't there and clamav treats it like a plain file. I've asked the clamav folks if some flag can be set to tell clamav to treat every file as a mail file, for use in mail scanners. If they don't object I may just look at working a patch for them. PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list. Email sent directly to me may be ignored utterly. -- Rob | What part of "no" was it you didn't understand? _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
