Why should I care - if it finds a virus in the email then the email gets dropped in the bit bucket (or quarantined). At that point it becomes utterly irrelevant *where* the virus is in the email. Yes, there's always the option of stripping out the virus from the email - but why? It's pretty unlikely (for values of unlikely approximating zero) that there will be any legitimate content in a virus infected email. > > Yeah, I solved the problem by using clamav-milter itself. > I'd rather not > > have something else in the loop (more things to break), but > I'll live with > > it. > > Well, more things in the loop can also prevent a single thing > to break if > combined cleverly (like using two virus scanners instead of > one, since one > alone always tends to be out of date just the very second you > would need it). Which is why I've got more than one in the loop. By the time any email gets to my mail client it's been through 4 different scanners :) So far (touch wood) nothing's got through to the client, yet. I'd like to only use MD, not MD and clamav-milter, purely to keep overheads minimal. I'll probably play with David's suggestion later next week and see if it works for me, in which case I can junk clamav-milter. PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list. Email sent directly to me may be ignored utterly. -- Rob | What part of "no" was it you didn't understand? _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
