Hi. Somebody posted a message to this list today, containing the EICAR test string.
I, as I suspect do a fair number of other people subscribed to the list, use anti-virus software on my mail server, which upon detecting a virus in a message deletes the offending section of the message, and simply sends me a notification that I was sent something nasty. In this case (it's my guess that the EICAR string was in the body, since it's only plain ASCII characters and is therefore perfectly easy to do) it means I have no idea what the body of the message was, since that's the bit that got deleted by my anti-virus system. I suggest that whoever posted it (assuming it was only a part of the posting, and there might have been something else worthwhile in the message too) re-posts, but without the full EICAR string (perhaps just use the word "EICAR" to show where you wanted it to be?), and then many more of us may be able to read the message and perhaps reply to it.... Regards, Antony. -- There are two possible outcomes. If the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement.
