Hi, Thanks for the promprt reply. Before I was running clamav-milter with the 'quiet' option. I guess this is why I wasn't receiving notifications (as the receiver). I'm now running it as follows:
/usr/local/etc/clamav/sbin/clamav-milter -l -o -p=null /var/run/clmilter.sock One other question, whenever I start clamav-milter I get the following message: /usr/local/etc/clamav/sbin/clamav-milter: running as root is not recommended How can I prevent this from happening? I've created the clamav user required by clamav itself os ideally, I'd run the milter under that user as well...

Yes it is possible, indeed it is the default action! Sending to the sender of the email is off by default. So 2 out 3 three things are by default what you want. The final issue is the only one that requires work. If you don't want postmaster to receive messages use --postmaster=null where null is an address aliased to /dev/null in /etc/aliases. > 2) Currently, my sendmail/clamav MTA is the last MTA in the > delivery chain of email messages to my domain.
