We wrap NAI's "vscan" into inflex. Inflex handles the UUencode/decode, virus scanning and magic number calculation as well. We actually look at attached files to determine their content rather than rely on file names alone. For instance, if someone tries to send a Win32 .exe file by renaming it to bogus.txt or something, we calculate "bugus.txt" magic number and it will be detected as a potentially dangerous attachment and deleted. Quite quick and very effective when coupled with the virus scanner :-) We ditch hazardous attachments before running the virus scanner - which means we end up scanning a LOT of .zip files. --James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
