Now that 1.81 is released what is the recommendation by
DECLUDE (SCOTT) regarding the config file.??
IE do we allow the AV software to scan jpegs by removing
the line
SKIPEXT
JPG
or do we allow Declude to take care of it completely
.
From what I understand (and I know ugotz) the infected
jpegs are more likely to be in Web Pages then in emails. I am assuming
from the threads here that people are catching infected jpegs. Or is it
tests only??

The new test will ignore these lines and bad JPEGs will be caught. The test is available by install a new interim version of Declude. (The test in the current intermin 1.80 has some problems so wait until they are resolved or check the other messages for details.) The best advice I've seen is to eliminate at least the JPG line, because these lines will prevent the AV programs from being called. Until last week, you could safely save some CPU time on your e-mail server by not scanning JPEGs. Greg Sharyn Schmidt wrote:
