That's just not true. Whenever qmail-scanner generates an error like that, it forces an exit code that causes qmail-smtpd to notice it as a temporary failure. So the sender SMTP server requeues and tries again later. You could have a problem with clamd for hours - and the mail would still get through eventually once the problem was fixed. > Question is: Is there anyway to configure qmail-scanner to reject mail that > can't be scanned properly, or even approve it as if it was scanned rather than > just dropping it and causing mail lost? > That is exactly how it works -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
