Having sent that link, I need to say two things:
First, this is certainly NOT comprehensive virus protection -- such a critter
generally costs many $$$
Second, I'm tinkering with my RULES.IMA file, and I'm not sure that IMail is
following the documented stuff. The manual (pg 72, Chapt 5, "Mail processing
Techniques") says:
-------------------
If the rule is for a host, in the "send to the mail box" box, enter the userID
to which messagess meeting the rule criteria will be sent. If you want the
message to got to a particular mailbox, follow the user ID with a hyphen ad
mailbox name, such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-------------------
So, I'd like the system to re-route any suspect message to a special mailbox I
have called 'quarantine'. My user ID is 'bdurland'. So I have a rule that
looks like this:
S~ILOVEYOU:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then I send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of 'ILOVEYOU'.
The rule intercepts it, but instead of putting it in bdurland's quarantine
mailbox, a new folder called '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' is created
in jdoe's user folder.
There must be an easier way to do this than setting up a forwarding file for
each user.

To all:
I'm new to Imail server and need a comprehensive virus protection system for
my server. I'm getting hammered with the Love Bug and other assorted visual
basic script stuff. Could someone tell me what rules I can set to stop all
.visualbasicscript stuff (so your stuff doesn't trap) or of some commercial
products that will protect my email server and my users from this sort of
stuff. I appreciate it!
Thanks,
Chris Martin
