I am not sure if RIT's virus detection system would pick up and eliminate a picture file such as was sent (improperly but ... ) although the true test would have been if a virus was indeed hidden in the picture file data. I will look into this. Please don't send virus test files. At this time the server has some filtering and file size limits associated with it but I don't recall what they are. Worms or viruses often are smaller than these limits I believe so only a check of each piece of mail would allow it to remove harmful stuff from being propagated. Virus elimination is a major project that the local postmaster staff engages in. Andy Andrew Davidhazy, andpph@xxxxxxx - PhotoForum on the Internet
