Sure, you have to break some eggs... Anyway I check that address myself 
as you were reporting 15 eMail. When I found this site they were 
running 8 or 10 tests. New ones are XP and/or Outlook specific. My 
system (MyRealBox, ZoneAlarm [freeware] and Pegasus Mail) gave me very 
good results: 100%! EICAR was caught by MRB, all executable attachments 
were caught by ZoneAlarm and Pmail is immune to HTML/MIME malware as 
well as any "executable" script. So I feel a lot better now.

I hope Unknown/CGI-BIN/Euman/Xanax (a.k.a. alprazolam, an antianxiety 
agent (trade name Xanax) of the benzodiazepine class) is reading this. 
He looks too anxious to be called Xanax. ;)
