BTW we are getting a lot of messages about some new viruses out there.
Our policy is not to publish this stuff as we would be at it all the
time.

My suggestion is go with Linux for your email as Linux is 99% immune
to
all viruses and 100% immune to Windows viruses. You don't have to
give up all your Windows software. There are several ways around
that. You can dual boot or have two computers or you can run a Windows
emulator called wine. Linux comes with utilities to convert Windows
files to Linux files and vice versa.

Hi Paul. Yep, agree to that - I use only Linux and Mac OS X for my e-mail
clients, and only Linux for my servers...

However, the metrics are a little different - I'd say 99.999% immune to viruses
as there have only been 3 or 4 in history. All of which were mitigated by fixes
to Linux...  On the WinTel being 100% immune, not quite - there has been some
work on croos platform viruses... Besides, wine may allow a virus to infect a dll
that wine uses.
