I suspect the documentation hasn't been updated to reflect the code. Certainly the current scam.ndb from Sanesecurity contains some 15 Image signatures and some 83 Stock signatures.

I'll have to investigate them next week. -- Dennis Davis, BUCS, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +44 1225 386101 -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
