I undstand why qmail scanner doesnt clean viruses but why does it have to quarantine them instead of discarding? Obviously it is dangerous for users even if they have virus scanners since they might not be up to date or something. Is there a way to drop emails with virus?
The point is twofold. From the user's perspective, the important thing is that they might need a copy of the message that is sent; quarantining means that the original message is preserved for them - Just In Case.
From the admins, and some users perspective, what difference is in quarantining vs discarding? Either way the infected attachment is not sent to them. The message is quarantined on the server, so viruses are never sent on to the end-users. What danger does this pose them?
