The current version does: a) scan all attachments and delete infected files after trying to clean the virus from the file (can be configured to notify both the sender and recipient if you wish) b) strip all executables, with a notification given to the recipient c) not ignore exe's that are in a ZIP file. It will search inside the ZIP file and remove it. Also works for RAR, ACE, TAR files, etc
It will also delete a compressed archive (ZIP, RAR, etc) if it is password protected. This is enabled by default. I agree about the logs....they are brilliant! You can see exactly what happened with each individual email that it processes, what it did with it, why it bounced, etc....I wish other programs had the same level of detail and ease of use!!!

There were two requests I had. The first was tarpitting. He said they had received a lot of requests for that and were working on it. He put my second on the customer "wishlist" for developer evaluation. It was the ability to configure the following: a) Antivirus scans all attachments, deletes infected b) All unzipped executables are stripped with notification c) Zipped executables are allowed to pass. With the then-current version, it was not possible for all these conditions to be configured at the same time. SMSSMTP was a pretty good product. It had an excellent web-based management interface with a brilliant and effective built-in log search tool. I wish all logs were that quick and easy to search!
