Re: blocking MyDoom virus

[Joe Savelberg <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bruce,

The script only works on local mailbox directories and can't be used 
to process out going e-mails.

Maybe the file name "virus.list" was misleading as it has nothing to 
do with mailing lists but rather contains a list of common virus 
attachment names.

Joe.
