Jim, thank you, I have it set to 'psender,recips' and for some reason the recips don't always get the notificaiton, what would cause this to occur?
For example I am testing by sending to myself a known virus and I see it get caught, track it in the quarantine, but I never get the notification?

Comma-separated list (no spaces!) of addresses to which alerts should be sent to. "nmladm" means only notify admin for "user infections", i.e. non-mailing-list mail. "nmlvadm" is the same as nmladm - except that it also doesn't notify for viral e-mails. i.e. just "policy" quarantines get e-mails. This allows you to still notify people when an e-mail is blocked due to a policy decision (such as blocking password-protected zip files), but a message tagged as viral by an AV system will *not* trigger notification. Similarly, "psender" means notify the sender only if their e-mail was blocked for policy reasons. i.e. if an AV system found a virus, then don't notify the sender as the address was probably forged. Setting it to "recips" should notify the recipient whether it was a virus OR a policy reason. Qmail-scanner does not necessarily distinguish between the two. It just knows that it is quarantined but why doesnt really matter. > Related to this, I do like the notification message, but is it at all > customizable? > you can customize the message by editing the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner.pl Somewhere around line 1850 (in qmail-scanner 1.21) Be careful when editing this as it is VERY easy to screw up the perl file. You will definitely want to make a backup of it first.
