Notify Sender for attachments but not for viruses

[Jeff Falgout]

Julian,

Does the Virus notification setting take priority?

For example:

If you set

Notify Senders Of Viruses = no

and

Notify Senders Of Blocked Filenames Or Filetypes = yes

and receive something like Sobig, and .pif is blocked,

Will you not send a notification?


Thanks,
Jeff

I have just implemented this. There will be new options to set these
notifications in more detail in the next release.

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing attachments that are blocked due to
# their filename or file contents?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders Of Blocked Filenames Or Filetypes = yes

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing other blocked content, such as
# partial messages or messages with external bodies?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders Of Other Blocked Content = yes

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing viruses?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders Of Viruses = yes
