Actually, the crux of this argument was whether AV software should be in
Fedora Core.
Additionally I think scanning all mail for something which only affects
some of the systems is:
1. enabling users to use unsafe programs
2. encouraging continued questionable practices
3. increasing the workload by duplicating effort.
- spend more time making your client control efforts work and less
time upgrading the virus definitions on your mail server
That argument seems to be inversed. Unless you have a very small
amount of clients, you are always better off doing it serverside.
Or do you really chase your Laptop users to upgrade their systems?
