McAfee PROBLEM !!!

Good Question, Does DAT 4332 fix it, my understanding was that it
handled the unzipping and so forth, and MailScanner interpreted the
response, I'm looking for confirmation, I'm running an older version of
MailScanner (4.25-14 I believe), I hate to upgrade unless it's
necessary.

Regards
MIKE
