Is there any method to check what viruses mail.msu.edu is catching? Maybe a webpage that is updated as the definitions for ClamAV are updated. This one is also called Novarg or Mimail-R. I see at http://project.mail.msu.edu/~rrdtool/malmail.html that Mimail-J was filtered out yesterday, so I'm hoping this variant will be caught soon. I used to forward these messages to my users, if it was a popular virus. But with ClamAV as part of the mail system, I won't bother anymore. And from Tim Potter's message earlier: > Any chance the mail.msu.edu server AV defs can get updated ASAP? > > Below is a typical example of what we're seeing. The usual file extensions 'scr', 'pif', 'zip', etc. I would vote for just killing any .scr and .pif -- who the heck has ever wanted to send one of those as an attachment? Maybe .exe could go too? -John
