[clamav-users] ClamAV® blog: Lurker is going End of Life

[Al Varnell]

The most important part of lurker for me was the ability to easily search for signature names to determine when they were first posted.  This is usually a clue as to whether a detection is a potential false positive (new signatures are obviously more suspect).  Admittedly the search routine isn’t perfect, but given time, I can normally find what I’m looking for.

Does the mailman system allow such searches and how to I access the archives?
