Attachments are not scanned - still is not rejecting denied extensions like .exe

[Magda Hewryk]

Hi,

I've changed config file for Scanning and Scanner's but still MailScanner
doesn't flag the email as "wrong attachment"

Virus Scanning = yes
Virus Scanners = none

#   mail -v mhewryk -s "report No. 5" < f-prot.exe

Virus Scanning = no turns off all processing of the messages.  I think you
want

Virus Scanning = yes
Virus Scanners = none

[The config files suggest you can turn off virus scanning by Virus Scanners
= sophos - but I suspect that's an error, maybe its fixed in 4.11?]
