Julian,

Update phishing sites works with 4.68.4:

(141)> /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_phishing_sites
--14:32:33--  http://www.mailscanner.info/phishing.safe.sites.conf.master
            => `phishing.safe.sites.conf.master'

But update_bad_phishing_sites does not:

(142)> /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_bad_phishing_sites
This is the first run of this program.....

I am working with: Current: 2008-03-17 - 111 and Status: -1 - -1
This is base update
Unable to retrieve http://www.mailscanner.tv/.2008-03-17 :404 Not Found

In my case www.mailscanner.tv resolves to: 205.234.175.175

Question: Since Tuvalu is a member of the Commonwealth, does this
mean that you can grab your UK passport, get on the next jet to
Tuvalu, and set up your mailscanner.tv business on some nice beach
without getting hassled by the locals?
