I had both enabled up until about an hour
ago.
Currently, if I have virus scanning turned off,
and anti-spam deleting instead of sending to quarantine, things are pretty
manageable.

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

[Modus] 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?
