* This is the modus mailing list * I don't have a problem with turning off virus alerts, I have had them off for a long time, it is attachment alerts that are the problem and as most of the viruses getting sent get stopped by the attachment scanner the attachment notifications generate a lot of traffic. I had forgotten that you can now set the order of scanning in modus to scan viruses first, what a great feature, wish I would have turned it on earlier.

But since the majority of viruses that matter fake it, just turn the damn thing off. :) When your customers complain explain to them why you've done it. If you need to tell them other admins were threatening you with bodily harm. :p We turned ours off from day 1. I've had ZERO complaints from over 80k mail users.
