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 thanks transtec Computers for their support
MailScanner appears to be doing a great job. Vexira finds most viruses.
MailScanner finds lots of malicious code.
