But no-one has explained why it is better than the current system! Instead of giving a SMTP error, you get a personally written, virus-specific report send to your address. If the virus was generated by a trojan, neither option would cause the user to be notified. If this was a real user, sending a virus-infected file, then both methods would cause the user to be notified. However, a 550 bounce doesn't say "jack" compared with what the custom-written alerts of Qmail-Scanner do... -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
