Thanks for your reply. In short, I do it because I want to. As to why I decided to add AV to my own system, that was mainly motivated by a spate of questionable emails seemingly of phish nature as they were unsolicited and had attachments appearing to be Word or Excel documents purporting to contain "vital information". While easy enough to dismiss, it became of interest to me how these might have slipped through my providers AV and thought it a good excuse to engage in a bit of "fun" and brain exercise. To "fill in the blanks". For some years prior to my retirement several years ago, from active paid employment, I managed as a contractor an email system for a state agency with over 5,000 users. My involvement in computers/"IT" dates to the 1970's, (and before) an era of discrete circuits, magnetic core memory, punch cards and patch panels. Back OT, my post was about dealing with items that have already been processed and are in the posfix HOLD queue, per the action of clamav-milter, waiting for disposition in some way. Sorry if my queries irritate you at all, as I presume they must have. joe a. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
