[Spambayes] Virus in the proxy cache...

[Eric Johnson]

Yes it is a folder with one file per message, except when there is an
attachment.  The attachment seems to have the same filename with the usual
Windows "-1", "-2" appended to it.

The proxy seems to be working okay, so I don't think it is corrupted.  I
will take a closer look tomorrow when I am with that system again.

Thanks,
Eric Johnson

Is the cache just a folder with messages, one message per file?  If so, I
suspect you'll be ok though the next time you retrain from scratch obviously
those files which contained viruses won't be around to yield clues for the
database.  Note however that I'm not a Windows guy, so take that with a
grain of salt.
