Package: amavisd-new Version: 1:2.7.1-2 Severity: important I get far too many emails such as:
BANNED contents (application/x-msdos-program,.dat,test1.exe) in mail FROM ... The default configuration sends a copy of all these to postmaster I found this email: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.virus.amavis.user/37395 which suggests adding $banned_admin = undef; to the configuration. I tried adding that immediately under $virus_admin and it didn't help (I did restart amavisd too). It seems that all banned emails are treated the same as virus/quarantine emails, even if the messages says "No virus found", so as a workaround I set $virus_admin = undef; and then I don't get the notifications at all - but this is not desirable either, as they end up in the quarantine directory wasting disk space. Given the amount of rubbish email these days, it would be better if the default configuration was able to simply bounce everything to sender (where sender address is legitimate) and drop everything else without wasting the postmaster's time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
