It does write to the report: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- For some reason, we could not send the EICAR test string to this MTA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- or: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nessus sent several emails containing the EICAR test strings in them to the postmaster of the remote SMTP server. The EICAR test string is a fake virus which triggers anti-viruses, in order to make sure they run. Nessus attempted to e-mail this string five times, with different codings each time, in order to attempt to fool the remote anti-virus (if any). If there is an antivirus filter, these messages should all be blocked. *** To determine if the remote host is vulnerable, see *** if any mail arrived to the postmaster of this host Solution: Install an antivirus / upgrade it Reference : http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/256619 Reference : http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/44301 Reference : http://online.securityfocus.com/links/188 Risk factor : Low ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
