BTW, Peter Lindeman's AV script makes it easy to have a server behave accordingly to this opinion I share. In "checkvirus.cfg" : # Should the script send an email to the sender of the virus our $send_to_sender = 0; # Should the script send an email to the receipient of the mail our $send_to_rcpt = 0; # Should the script send an email to the postmaster of the server our $send_to_postmaster = 1; - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
