I thought someone might argue that point, but the fact of the matter is that ClamAV itself is ripping appart these emails with BinHex and OLE2 all by itself without the help of some other scanner. I'm pretty sure that TNEF encoded emails are the only emails that ClamAV needs qmail-scanner's help scanning. I don't think ClamAV is capable of scanning TNEF emails raw. So I'll ask again: If we've already added code bloat with the addition of the ScanMail option, why not add a (perhaps optional) logging statement or two? If the ClamAV developers are really code purists then they should remove the ScanMail functionality entirely and let a wrapper program handle BinHex and MIME emails. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
