Обсуждение: Re: Virus Found in Mail
Does anyone else get this message when they post to the list or is it just me? Firstly, the emails I'm sending don't have attachments!!! Secondly, if they did have a .bat extension, my virus s/w wouldn't let it out of the building Thirdly, my workstation isn't even windows, it's Linux On Friday 01 March 2002 3:10 pm, you wrote: > Your message of: > Fri, 1 Mar 2002 14:40:07 +0000 > Sent to: > jm.poure@freesurf.fr, pgsql-admin@postgresql.org > with a subject of: > Re: [ADMIN] PHP ODBC conflict > was found by McAfees' virus scanner to contain a virus.

I'm guessing it's coming from the server that hosts jm.poure@freesurf.fr
-- you're stuff isn't coming with any attachments on my system (also
Linux).

I got the same when replying to Gary's email. Must be a string in the
email that is fooling the virus scanner.

I had been pursuing the issue with topnz.ac.nz with little success as all msgs to that domain produce the same false postive (e.g. sending mail from Pine). -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://freebsddiary.org/ - practical examples
