I am just setting up our operational MailScanner server and have come up
against this one. I too would like more sepparation for the messages that
get sent out if the attachment is either one of: a banned filetype (or
extension), corrupt attachment, virus.

Also is it possible to configure MS to behave differently for incoming and
outgoing emails? Ie:

Notify both sender and recipient of an infected email attachment (and strip
it from message) when the email is inbound. But if the email is outbound,
block the message and bouce it back to the sender with the virus report and
infected attachment stripped?

The may be a way of doing this - but I cant find it (YET)!

Cheers,

Sam

Same here, a lot of people send in mail like, your scanner sucks since my
own scanner didnt find anything. They dont understand it was for example a
reject based on filename filters.

Would it be possible to have a seperate identifier for that ? Something like
{?rejected} ?
