Hi,

guessing from virus notification I receive from AMaViS 0.2.x
installations it seems those releases are still in use by several
people [1].

As the former AMaViS 0.2.1 maintainer I'd like to remind you the AMaViS
0.2.x development was discontinued in July, 16th 2001 [2].

Since then, the AMaViS 0.1.x/0.2.x versions are in "security
maintenance" mode only, i.e. we provide only patches/updates
in case of a security vulnerabilty which affects the AMaViS
code itself and/or offer workarounds via our AMaViS Security
Announcements. This will stop effectively on August, 1st 2004 (3 years
after the development has been discontinued and 3 months from now on).
In other words: AMaViS 0.1.x / 0.2.x will not be supported anymore even
if it's security related!

Therefore, we *strongly* encourage you to upgrade to amavis 0.3.x,
amavisd (maintained by Lars Hecking), amavisd-new (maintained by
Mark Martinec) or amavis-ng (maintained by Hilko Bengen) as soon
as possible.

Thank you very much for your co-operation.

best regards
Rainer Link
