[Modus] filtering

[Mike McTee]

Larry,   I just stopped sending recipient notifications today.  Had a few complaints that the notices were more annoying than Spam (since the onset of [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  And as postmaster, the delivery failure returns were becoming very annoying.  That’s what got me to thinking about whether to quarantine or not.  I guess to cover our backside, we should do one or the other and if the customer wants both or neither, let them adjust each to their hearts content.       Sincerely, Mike McTee Internet Systems Technician Eastex Net (www.eastex.net) 903-854-1169       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Essary Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 3:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] filtering   Are you even notifying the user they received an email with a virus with "enable alert notification to recipients" ? Larry The false positive rate seems negligible, and you can't release them, for practical purposes, and nobody wants to double check and see if the claimed virus is the "computerdistroyed.exe" virus or a false positive, so we started chucking them in to the bit bucket.   Cary Fitch I was contemplating this same issue earlier this morning.  I couldn’t think of any really viable excuse to keep them. Mike McTee Is there any reason to not simply delete emails that are detected as having a virus ? I have never had a virus infected email that contained any useful information. Larry
