Spamassassin catches all the viruses, which is good because mcaffee doesn't update their definitions until we've had 100 or so attachments blow through the mail server.

I wish they'd update definitions immediately after their staff writes the virus, and not after it's all over the 'net.

That would cut into their marketing though, wouldn't it.

Why does michael make sarcastic quips about Trustworthy Computing? What does that have to do with a virus e-mail attachment?
