Hi Eddie
I don't know if there's an easy way to do that, but I suppose you could turn it off in sweep.pl (on a standard Debian system it can be found in /usr/share/mailscanner/).

Locate the section containing options for your particular virusscanner in the part beginning with
"my %Scanners = (
  sophos => {"

and change the line:

    SupportDisinfect    => [something]

to

    SupportDisinfect    => $S_NONE

I haven't tested it, but from the rest of the code it appears that a message will then be logged instead of cleaning anything.

(I'm sure Julian will correct me if I'm wrong :-)

Best regards
