Sending a 5xx error only makes sense if a message is quarantined due to policy reasons (by perl_scanner) since that is usually where you have false positives. Otherwise 99.9% of messages that have detectable viruses have fake senders and therefore it would be meaningless to send a 5xx. Perhaps it makes sense to only send 5xx if caught by perl_scanner. -- Ed. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ Qmail-scanner-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qmail-scanner-general
