Thankyou was helpful! Its was just that a few years ago I was slapped by the slapper worm.... which brings to my next question: Is there a good mailing list for the notification of security holes in GNU software, e.g. apache, samba qmail etc.... I guese its just a matter of keeping up with security patches. cheers Jody --- Ben Goodger <goodgerster@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
In short: - ClamAV (and AVG Linux Mail Server edition) are virus checkers useful for removing Windows virii from emails going through your server (while ClamWin and AVG are checkers for Windows.) - There are no wild virii for Linux, and it would probably not be affected by them anyway. Ergo, virus checking for Linux is redundant, unless you wish to check for virri passing through your mail server, and you are perfectly fine as you are. I do wish such a simple question as this would refrain from developing into an argument from time to time. -- ~ Ben Goodger ~ Please remember to FLOSS daily. ~ www.getfirefox.com -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
