Do you alert the sender and recipient when a virus is
detected?

Gate Problems
Greetings,
We were running pretty well the past
week or so since the patch that minimized the quarantine database, however a
few hours ago we hit a brick wall.
Both our (load balanced) gate
servers started getting backed up with emails in the 'invirus' folder.
In an attempt to at least get messages delivered, we turned off smtprs on one
of servers, and this allowed the server to be able to deliver it's queued
email.
The problem with doing it that way, is that the other server
gets more backed up, so its a never ending process.
We thought that
maybe the sql database was too big, so we backed it up and shrunk it. No
dice
We then dropped the 2 tables, and then re-added fresh
tables. We are seeing new data being written to the database, however
the servers are still queuing up tons of emails.
We thought maybe that
new virus is slamming our servers, so:
We then turned on the sieve
filter to filter out the new virus thats out there, no luck.
We then told
anti-virus to delete the message rather than dump it to quarantine, no
luck.
The only way the servers are able to deliver email normally, is
to turn off smtprs, however as soon as it goes back on, email starts to pile
up.
Any ideas?
