Hi Robert, the idea with the quarantine feature is that it gives the SA a chance to review virus or otherwise tagged messages instead of rejecting/dev-nulling them right away. The quarantine queue is pretty much like the main message queue, except it is generally managed with the '-qQ' option to mailq and sendmail. Refer to the manpage for a complete description and usage examples. A quick google search also reveals a few ready made sendmail quarantine managers. -aCaB _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
