The more tools that you have the likelihood of filtering it out increases. Just because I run ClamAv on the mail exchanger does not mean I do not run AV on our Exchange server and all of our desktop machines. Firewalls can do IDS functions, AV applications for the desktop are now including Anti Spam functions, by default outlook now has Junk Mail options. My point is that most people layer these things together to provide a comprehensive solution. If ClamAv processes the message first and kills it before passing it on the anti spam application. Why would this be a bad thing?

Back when this debate first started (around November or so) I never thought it would stop. In November I decided to do 2 things 1 log what virus's were being caught, where they were going, and what virus was detected. Out of 446 detected viruses, 167 were phishing attempts. How can stopping 167 attempts to defraud be looked at as a bad thing regardless of what stopped it. ClamAV detects them, and I for one am very happy that it does. Keep up the great work guys!! _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
