My question originates from a win2000 server problem when it was failling to crate any new proccesses, thus it wouldn't also be able to create a "wrapper" script to check for valid filter return code. The real problem was in that it happened overnight and XMail excepted quite a few virus infected mails - because of a failure to start new proccess (virus scan). I know that in a perfect world (near linux) filter would allways execute and return the proper code but is that really 100% correct? Personaly I would rather get a small delivery delayr then get in a virus infected mails.
