I just installed the anti-virus stuff on my employer's Windows 2000 Listserv last night. I figured that by this morning, I would have some virused emails in my inbox, but with my luck, that hasn't happened so I am going to have to actually make an effort to find some virused files in order to test this new functionality, but I can tell you that it is a special version of F-Secure and it works for free, provided that you have your Listserv's maintenance current and your local Listserv administrator has installed the new maintenance LAK that you should received recently if your maintenance is current. Of course, you already know about the situation where the anti-virus support is only available for Linux and Windows 2000 right now. The documentation states that the anti-virus protection may be ported to L-Soft's other platforms. For questions on support policies, you would do well to write directly to [log in to unmask] rather than posting them in this forum.
