How does "antivirus mail filtering" differ significantly from spam filtering? Seems to me these two should be one and the same as "spam" is a form of malicious code. Teach a spam filter what the virus looks like and kill two birds with the same stone. All that seems to be lacking is easy updates to the spam/virus/worm rule database. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
