We have Clam Av installed and running. It is blocking virus e-mails
but is not generating any notification.
Is it possible to send a message onto the user that they had an e-mail
blocked? Or to an admin stating that [EMAIL PROTECTED] had a virus sent to
them?
Thanks in advance.
Don't send notification emails at all!
Perhaps maybe to the mail administrator, but you don't want that
on a busy mail server.
If you want to know how many viruses hit your box, you take a look
at the clam logs.
Don't confuse your users with a message that you've stopped a virus.
Who wants to know these days?
I, as a mail admin and a user, certainly don't want to.
A Week ago I switched from qmail-scanner, to simscan [1].
It drops viruses at smtp level with a permanent failure message.
No one is notified or emailed. Just another entry in the clam logs.
I love it.
