Hello,
I just noticed that F-Prot 4.6.8 is no longer supported by the manufacturer,
so signature updates no longer work. The last valid signatures are dated
2008-10-20, now the update site only responds with:
5
Support for this version of F-PROT has been discontinued. Please upgrade
to use F-PROT version 6. More information: www.f-prot.com or
support at f-prot.com
Because of this, please update the port to F-Prot 6 or delete it; a virus
scanner with outdated signatures is more dangerous than no virus scanner at
all.
Presumably the same applies to security/f-protd, so I've cc'd its
maintainer. Also, amavisd-new references f-prot in its configuration, so
this ought to be updated as well.
Cheers
Benjamin
