Well,
all i want to do is to filter the Mails into a per user quarantine.
We have lost important Emails in the past because of false alarms (mostly
for Macro Viruses).
So my Boss gave me 2 Options:
- Give the Users the Chance to recover false positives by themselves
- Don't run a Virus Scanner on the Mail Server
I prefer the first Option =)
At the Moment I do every 5 minutes from cron:
find /var/spool/qmailscan/quarantine/new -type f -print |xargs -i bash -c
"reformail -a \"X-Virus-Status: Yes\" < {}|qmail-inject ; rm {}"
and Filter the messages based on "X-Virus-Status" into a per user
quarantine.
I would have preferred an option in qmail-scanner to do that.
Chris

Some filters deliver the mail after removing the virus bearing attachment
(with a suitable message). Usefulness of such a scheme is a subjective
matter.
