If you box delivers mail it will deliver the trojan just like any other mail. Calling it a virus is inappropriate given that it requires user action to spread... Now if you have 30,000 mail users like we do, you may want to take steps on you mail servers to limit the potential impact to your customers, and likewise to keep them from sharing it with the rest of the internet. > I respectfully suggest that it was and is an appropriate question for this > list. Sort of, the net effect of this and other trojan payloads on mail servers, is to either increase the amount of mail you deliver or the amount of processing you have to do before delivering it... I'd prefer to do neither frankly, but I don't get that choice. > -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel Jaeggli Unix Consulting joelja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GPG Key Fingerprint: 5C6E 0104 BAF0 40B0 5BD3 C38B F000 35AB B67F 56B2
