Hi,

We have seen this as well, is there a way of preventing it without changing
sendmail?

Hi,

I'm installing mailscanner on an ensim appliance server and wan't it to be
an extra to have mail scanned for virusses.

i use the following options in mailscanner.conf

Scanning By Domain = yes
Sign Unscanned Messages = no

What happens is that the messages for the domains not in the domains.to.scan
file are indeed not scanned, but the header has the Mailscanner sign: Found
to be clean in it.

I've looked in to the problem and it seems something goes wrong in
sendmail.pl

at line 766: if unscanned and don't signunscanned messages add the unscanned
header. In any other case add the clean header.

I think it should be changed to:
    766     if ($entities eq 'unscanned'){
    767       if ($Config::SignUnscannedMessages){
    768         $headers = AddUnscannedHeader($headers);
    769       }
    770     } else {
    771       $headers = AddCleanHeader($headers);
    772     }
