You haven't mentioned what MTA you are using, which makes a big difference as to when and what you can use to do rejects during the SMTP session rather than accepting and then bouncing. However, note that ClamAV is a virus scanner, not a MIME analyzer: you should be saving the virus-scanning for last because it is fairly expensive, and perform MIME defanging or rejection of various content-types via cheaper tools like MIMEdefang or amavisd-new, and only run ClamAV on the stuff you accept. -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
