Update on F-prot issue

[Kevin Miller]

Thanks for the update Raymond.  I just downloaded:

        fp-linux-ms-4.1.2.tar.gz - F-Prot Antivirus for Linux Mail Servers
(TAR)

I presume that's the right one - last spring I got the small business
version, but now they've renamed their products so I'm guessing that the
mail server version is what I'm after.

If someone knows differently, please let me know.

TIA...

...Kevin
