[Modus] filtering

[Cary Fitch]

We were getting hammered a few days ago... causing a small backlog, and decided at that time there was no reason to keep virus messages.   The false positive rate seems negligible, and you can't release them, for practical purposes, and nobody wants to double check and see if the claimed virus is the "computerdistroyed.exe" virus or a false positive, so we started chucking them in to the bit bucket.   Cary Fitch ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike McTee To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 2:51 PM Subject: [Modus] filtering Larry,   I was contemplating this same issue earlier this morning.  I couldn�t think of any really viable excuse to keep them.       Sincerely, Mike McTee Internet Systems Technician Eastex Net (www.eastex.net)       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Essary Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 2:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] filtering   Is there any reason to not simply delete emails that are detected as having a virus ? I have never had a virus infected email that contained any useful information. Larry
