[Mimedefang] sobig virus slipping by mcafee.

[Cormack, Ken]

Peter,

Version 4.16.0 recognizes it...

#  uvscan --version
   Virus Scan for Linux v4.16.0
   Copyright (c) 1992-2003 Networks Associates Technology Inc. All rights
reserved.
   (408) 988-3832  LICENSED COPY - Nov 13 2001

>From the man page for that version:

   --mime
          Scan MIME-encoded files.  This type of file is not scanned by
default.

If your version is too old to recognize the "--mime" parameter, perhaps you
might consider upgrading to this version.

Ken

No it shouldn't...  My uvscan doesn't recognize this command and SoBig is
NOT slipping by my uvscan.

Regards,
Pete
