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.
