Understood, hence the second part of my statement in my email:

"We have a bug open with our team to check and see what the issue is with 
individual notification.”

I was on the clamav-virusdb mailing list at one time, but no longer.  I recall 
getting daily email, regardless of whether I had submitted a sample that day or 
not, which means "Notify Me" has no effect.  Also, that email contains 
absolutely no information to correlate with my virus submission that I could 
ever discern.

For example, yesterday...
*Doc.Dropper.Agent-1400834
*Doc.Dropper.Agent-1400835
*Doc.Dropper.Agent-1400836, etc.

This tells me nothing about whether my submission was received, whether it was 
a duplicate, whether it was even a virus, or whether they consider my 
submissions to be spam.  If the clamav-virusdb mailing list is considered the 
result of "Notify Me" I would strongly suggest that the checkbox on the page be 
renamed "subscribe to virusdb mailing list", not "Notify Me".  There are 
completely different expectations in the choice of wording.

You must join the clamav-virusdb list in order to be notified. Did you do that?

Hi,
I have been submitting virus samples for several months now and I always check 
the "Notify Me" box on the submission page at 
clamav.net/reports/malware<http://clamav.net/reports/malware>. I have not 
received any notification. So, I am wondering (1) if my samples are actually 
being received or (2) if "Notify Me" is not being utilized after post 
submission processing.
thanks,
Chris
