Hi

Noticed this as well. If the below code is ok would be good to put in next release.

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     }
