linux-users list passing on virii

[Gerry Doris]

For what it's worth I sent a virus passed to me through this mailing list
to Antony Stone on the MailScanner list.  He is running several virus
scanners.  He confirmed that ClamAV doesn't find this virus.  In fact,
here's the pertinent part of his reply message.

On my system I use MailScanner to run F-Prot, TrendMicro, and ClamAV.  
Only ClamAV is missing the virus.  If I remember correctly the list is 
just using ClamAV.
