Quarantining

Hi again folks,

A gentleman by the name of Steve was kind enough to point me to this FAQ entry:

http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/serve/cache/277.html

My problem is that I have enabled the "store" option for the Spam Actions 
in respect to Low Scoring Spam. I only wish to quarantine Spam and clean 
attachments, however
it seems that the MailScanner is also quarantining spam with infected 
attachments and I do not have the Quarantine Infections options set to yes. 
The above FAQ that steve
pointed me to says and I quote:

>Correction: Anything which is not delivered or forwarded is not virus 
>scanned. So the same trick might have to be done if you don't deliver 
>Low-scoring spams. Thanks to Kai Schätzl for this clarification

However I am forwarding Low Scoring Spam to another mailbox, 
spam at enhtech.com. The actual line reads:

Spam Actions = store bounce forward spam at enhtech.com

So can someone tell me how to truly avoid quarantining infections? I'd 
really appreciate it.

Thanks.



Errol Neal
