Do you run a virus scanner on all my email?

There is a simple script testing for doubtful Windows executables in messages. Some of the most evident viruses and malware are refused. This is not really a virus scanner which disposes of the newest virus definitions. Currently there is no open source full anti-virus available and the licences for site wide virus scanning are very expensive.

Please verify all your incoming email yourself. Be especially careful when you are using dangerous email programs like Outlook Express !

You can see what's really scanned by browsing the filter yourself:
