Ahh. That makes sense now. I think what you might be better off doing is to turn off the chkuser patch as your not really using it in this situation. Then you could set your .qmail-default to send anything to either delete or to a users mailbox to be double checked. From memory simscan allows emails which have a virus to be sent to a quaratine (and maybe deleted too, i cant quite remember) so it should also be usable. There is a heap of options in the chkuser patch too which you may be able to play with to change its behaviour to suit what you want. cheers Shane
