So what do exim's logs say for the lost messages? What were the lost messages and how do you know they are missing? The standard configuration you are using will 5xx an email if it contains a virus. I don't know fetchmail's behavior on receiving a 5xx from the local machine, but I would think it should drop the message. Leaving it to be picked up later just means repeating, when you've already gotten a permanent failure, but like I said, I don't know what it does. > > > > Somewhere between Exim and Cyrus, selected emails are > > > > disappearing.

Since you are using the standard exim acl setup, this means that exim will reject any message that clamav identifies as having a virus in it. The only answer for this is going to be looking in the logfiles for exim - you will want to start looking for an email you know ent missing (exigrep is good for this) and see what happened to it. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Well, the handwriting is on the floor. | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- Joe E.
