I have a couple of other servers (the only one with the problem is under OSX
with ClamAV and Postfix) that are running sendmail 8.13 and using ClamAV and
BitDefender - all are being blocked by MS and detected initially only by
ClamAV until the update for BitDefender was received that also sees this one.
