We're checking some filtering rules we came up with on our own, by using
them on my own Kmail mua. So far they look like they're picking up all
the virii and no false positives. After another week or so of testing
we'll add them to the server.

However, the bad part of all this is we don't have MS desktops so we
don't know what a "real" MS update looks like for whitelisting. Can
anyone help me with that?

Thanks.
