Re: HOWTO: use sendmail to block messages
by Ernie De Guzman on Wednesday September 03, @02:07PM
Hi! I used this tip because we've been flooded by the Sobig virus. I had a problem though, after adding the virusrule.txt to the sendmail configuration file, it blocked all the emails and flagged them as infected with the sobig virus. Any thoughts on this will be appreciated. Thanks. Ernie.
