Thanks for the info..I am more concerned when I reject an email of an
attachment that is disallowed (ie EXE)..but you are right, for the most
cases, they are junk anyway.

Has anyone gotten qfilter and qmail-scan to work together??

If so, any information or a point to a resource would be great.

Thanks

Answer 1:
1a- short answer: No, it won't be delivered at all.

1b- longer answer: but it is kept in /var/spool/qmailscan/quarantine where
the 
sysadmin can take a look at it

Answer 2: Who cares ?
Most common e-mail viruses nowadays are self-propagating shit that contains 
nothing worth reading.

If some legitimate mail from a legitimate sender happens to contain a virus,

the sender will be notified that his mail has been rejected, and can send it

again -- without a virus -- should he want his message to be read...

Regards.
