as an aside to this, my beta testing of the new version of Enterprise
Manager (now to be called EM Library I think) seems to be going ok. My
test version of MailScanner has been using an EM maintained Sophos
installation for some weeks now. If you use (or are thinking of using)
EM to manage CIDs for windows boxes, you will soon (think the beta
finishes soon) be able to use it to manage the copy MailScanner uses
too. That will then take care of engine updates, new virus signatures
and new versions of the engine because they've realised the release
version has "issues"!

If you're just using Sophos with MailScanner, you're not interested in
the above!

Cheers,

Martin
