Recent releases
- 21 Jan 2006 04:02
Changes: This release added default poisoning of the application/x-msdownload MIME type in response to a new worm. Full MIME-type poisoning support will be available shortly. This release was accelerated for security reasons.
- 11 Jan 2006 21:05
Changes: The unrar executable check was fixed to not test for unrar if RAR scanning is already explicitly disabled by $DISABLE_RAR_SCAN. Recipient notification now works when sanitizing on a relay (e.g. in front of an Exchange server).

Changes: RAR archive scanning and the ability to mangle or poison WMF image files were added.
- 19 Dec 2004 17:27
Changes: This release fixes bugs in scanning of multi-layered MIME attachments, and an infinite loop on certain MIME boundary strings.
- 02 Oct 2004 13:08
Changes: Scanning of JPEG attachments to detect Microsoft BO attempts was added. A minor bugfix was made in .ZIP and document scanning.
