Folks, if you get a program called PIECHART.COM...don't run it. Please?

Thanks for the warning

Too bad your webhost doesn't do what I do on my mail server.

What I do is run Clam AntiVirus w/ amavisd-new to filter out virus messages. (ClamAV is the actual antivirus program, and amavisd-new is the program that interfaces the mail server program with ClamAV.) Both programs are open source and I've never had a problem with them.

Mine's currently set up where not only viruses are filtered; it also filters out executable filenames just in case.

If you'd like me to explain more, catch me on AIM/ICQ/MSN when I'm not AFK. ;-)

Actually, Kevin does have a amavisd-new on the system. I'm assuming this is so new that it's not recognizing it as a virus.

Or someone REALLY wants me to view the pie chart. :)
