RE: [cobalt-users] W32/Swen.A not detected

I was wondering if there are instructions on how to use and configure this
mailscanner.  I installed it on one of my raq4's.  Thanks

I had a problem with the sobig.F virus, Frisk said that in order to catch 
the new virus, you needed the new virus definitions and you needed to 
update to a newer version of their software.  I updated mine, screwed it 
up, Steve fixed it for me. Now it catches the virus I was having a problem 
with and it also catches the newer, such as Swen.
Mailscanner on it's own could catch a lot of the sobig.F as they had 
attachments that are not permitted within the default settings of 
mailscanner.  Some got through though.

Thus, your solution is to update F-Prot.  Steve posted some instructions a 
few days ago.  You need to make a few changes, download a file from his 
site and replace the script.  Change the update file with the newer one 
provided by F-Prot in the new install.  The version of F-Prot to download 
is the workstation version.
