'Fault' isn't really the issue here - if you want to blame something, blame the mailers that execute received content as a hidden side effect of opening or previewing a message. The more relevant issue is: whose problem is it when your boss gets a few hundred rejection notices saying he sent a virus? That is the result when everyone sends notifications instead of just discarding virus-generated messages. --- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
