Re: [Assp-user] How to split local mail from external mail.

[James B. <jl...@bo...>]

I have just had two of these emails get through ASSP 1.2.7.1 (54) and  
it's ClamAV.

Perhaps ClamAV has not had its virus defs updated to include this virus?

Also, it has allowed this .exe file pass through, even though I am  
using External Attachment Blocking level 1, so no .exe files should  
be allowed.
