Hello,

I am running a virus script using F-prot on my 1.17 server too. It is =
not the XAV program. But today i discovered that on my server virus =
mails don't get deleted as well?!? Thinking back, this behaviour started =
when upgrading from 1.12 to 1.17 (yes i did change the filter return =
codes). They get scanned and logged as a virus, but still Xmail passes =
them on. I tried return codes 16 and 4 (which should be good) and also 5 =
and 6 don't work. So i think it is kind of Xmail related rather than XAV =
related as i'm not using XAV but do experience the same problems.

Update: I just did some debugging and it turns out that in my script =
copying the messagefile to the quarantaine folder does not succeed, =
which causes my script to raise an error and so no reject code is =
returned. So this makes sense to me. Disabling quarantaine functionality =
does 'solve' the problem. Question is: did anything change in the Xmail =
architecture from 1.12 to 1.17 which causes this behaviour? I'm thinking =
on different file names for the @@file parameter (illegal w2k name?)? Or =
different directory where the @@file is saved (some w2k rights issue?)? =
Changed user context in which the script/filter is run?

Solution? Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Boechie.

Yep, I got that.
Also got caught with the Retcode when I started - A little better doco =
would
go a long way.
I didn't get anywhere with DoList (author) on the return code to =
Xmail=3D0, so
I am just using the older (working) version until enough people on W2k
complain and it'll get fixed.  (Do List says "works for me", and so I'm =
the
DH that has the problem.)
It was all working for me on W2k server, until the "XAVMessage=3D" was =
added
to the INI.  Now it always returns zero.
Reverting back to the old binary fixes it, but I don't get the custom
message.

Other than that I'm really happy with XAV.
The version that works for me is no longer available from their site, =
but I
have attached it for you.  ( I know the list will strip it, but you'll =
get
it cc'd).
PS, John - ignore the 2 files in the root of the zip, just use =
everything
from "\xav" down.

Rob :-)
