Hi All,

I don't really want to notify anybody about anything.  This is set in
MailScanner.conf -

Notify Senders = no

Most viruses appear to be comming from infected windows systems on the NET.

I do want MailScanner to notify postmaster -

# Notify the local system administrators ("Notices To") when any infections
# are found?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Send Notices = yes

Is there any reason to notify a recipient.

How can I turn this notifications off ?

MailScanner finds lots of  malicious code.
