Subject: RE: [Exim] Mydoom and virus signature updates
I am getting them as Mydoom.M so far. I had to update my clamav since I was
on a older version and the main.cvd was not updating correctly. Now that I
am on the current version it's catching them at the mail gateway and no
longer letting them pass on to my internal mail server which was catching
when first server let them thru.
