Hi!

I'm using qmail-scanner 1.16 now, and just enabled the blocking of .pif
files in quarantine-attachments.txt. Now when a virus arrives as a .pif
file, it is reported as a 'disallowed attachment type', instead of 'virus
X'. Is there any way to have q-s run the scanners first, and if they report
'safe', then check against the attachment type?


Greetings, Tom

What's the point? If the scanner runs against it and declares it safe, then it is a harmless attachment type. It serves as a blanket method of getting rid of attachments that shouldn't be coming through. When was the last PIF file that you recieved legitimate? QS can block them without sending them to the AV scanner, thus saving server resources.
