Hi,

Has anyone tried the email test from
http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest for virus vulnerabilities?
Using Mailscanner 3.03-1/F-Prot with Exim 3.34 on Trustix 1.5, only 2 of
the 6 infected messages were detected. The test included the following:

o       VBS file vulnerability test
o       CLSID extension vulnerability test
o       MIME header vulnerability test
o       ActiveX vulnerability test
o       Malformed file extension vulnerability test (for Outlook 2002 -
XP)
o       CLSID extension vulnerability test (for Outlook 2002 - XP)

Mailscanner only detected the MIME header and VBS payloads. What kind of
adjustments can I make to catch the rest or is it an F-Prot issue?

thanks,
Stephen
