Hi everyone,

I just read the updates to the original article over at
www.attrition.org slamming a number of anti-virus vendors for spamming
people with virus warnings. One of the updates has a link to a
spamassassin rule file that filters all of these (bogus) virus warnings
out of email. It's at http://www.timj.co.uk/linux/bogus-virus-warnings.cf

I'm sitting on the fence with this one. Is filtering out all virus
warnings a good idea? Perhaps it is. I'm still a bit hesitant about
putting this on the mail server though.

What does the "collective" think?

Cheers,
Chris
