Yes, but it's better to have two separate tools - one specialized in detecting malware, that does it with high accuracy, and the other a general-purpose spam filter (which can pass through some spam) - than try to fit everything in one tool. That's why you usually have both antivirus/anti-malware scanners AND generic spam filters on a mail host. Even if a spam filter happens to pass the message containing malware, AV scanner usually catches it, as it is specialized to do that particular task only. If the malware is not attached directly to email, but needs to be downloaded from a link included in the message, then we have an UTM on the way which should block the download attempt. And if everything else fails, there is anti-malware software running directly on end-users computer. Antispam filter isn't supposed to do everything... :) -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
