Hi,

Sure, there are a lot of ways to try and stop spam/viruses from getting in before you even get to the virus scanner: helo checks, valid rcpt checks, valid envelopes, tarpitting, force slow connections, reject mail that is bursted, etc.

All I was saying, is that this particular virus is very hard to detect, as you can have a piece of virus-free html mail that links to an image on a remote site, so the payload is not even in the message! It's very nasty..

Cheers,

Alex
