Joanna Roman said: > Can phishing be considered one kind of spam ? Of course. Rather that dither over the categorization of content of messages just think of any unsolicited bulk email as evil and to be destroyed. It helps to get past the problems of how to think about phishing and political prisoners with vast sums of cash, social engineering messages, male potency enhancers for little boyz with nothing but wet dreams, amateur mommys looking for action, etc.
Self-replicating or other active attachments or inclusions that run in primitive operating systems such as Windows can be a part of phishing attempts but are a problem in addition to the intent of the phishing schemes. These two facets of mail content require different policies and tools. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
