Quoting Andreas Moroder <[email protected]>:
as long as attachment are sent togheter with the email virus scanners on the gateway can scan the mail, but how can attachments be scanned when they are stored on the VFS and sent as attachment ?
You are correct. There is no virus scanning of VFS attachments. This is beyond the scope of Horde/IMP - although I think a hook that is triggered when an attachment is uploaded would probably be appropriate to allow an admin to set up the necessary virusscanner.
It is to consider that the file has to be copied to filesystem so that the virus scanner can scan the file and probably also the fact, that they must be in their original format non 7 bit MIME
Files in VFS are in binary format - not MIME. MIME encoding is only used for mail transport.
