Denial of Service attack in message!

Yes.
I went through this last Friday.

You need to upgrade the engine in mcafee. Currently you are running 4.1.6.0.
The newest one is 4.3.2.0.

You can get it from ftp.nai.com and the file you are looking for is
elnx4320.zip. It can be extracted by gunzip. Just place in your
/usr/local/uvscan folder and unzip it.

Then run a uvscan --version to check your engine rev level.

If you check it before you update it, you get Segmentation Fault.

Hi!
Suddenly last Wendsday I started to get Virus detected within some mails
parsed by MailScanner.

This seems to be "found" randomlly and has increased since then. 

I am running version:
$MailScanner::Config::MailScannerVersion = '4.21-9';
On Solaris 8. the virus program is mcafee.

Has anybody else experienced this problem latlly, I mean can this be caused
by mcafee????
