My mail servers have been backed up with hundreds of infected mails in the queue. I installed the new McAfee DAT files for Linux today and immediately most of the queue was stopped dead by Amavis (mail virus scanner). The latest update does find W32.Sircam.
I did install Mc Afee. Unfortunately i have not yet been able to install amavis on the mail server. I got some errors and thought that i would install it later. I think it is time for me to try installing it. My mails are scanned at the desktops (in windows) as of now.
Regards,
Noel

I have desktop scanners on all workstations as well, but this is far from sufficient in my case. I use IMAP instead of POP3, so all mails stay on the Linux box. As a result, each time somebody goes back to an old, virus-infected mail, he's in trouble once again. It makes more sense to stop the viruses on the mail server. It stops outgoing viruses too.
