We use IMAP for our Outlook clients (don't laugh to hard, using Outlook was
not my decision) and our web clients (IMP) to connect to the e-mail server.
For 2,000 employee accounts and 10,000+ student accounts (in the Spring)
this does not seem like a viable disaster recovery solution. Does it???


Thanks again,

Exactly. Sometimes it's viable because people use POP3 and basically suck
all of their e-mail into their own PC's. Otherwise you need a
scanner/cleaner that a) supports mbox format and b) can delete viruses
successfully without screwing up the mailbox.

That would mark all of e-mail in a person's inbox as new. I am not sure if
that is a viable option. It is still scanning. It has found thirteen
mailboxes so far. Can it at least tell me what message in the mail box is
infected??

Thanks,

Try the following:

1. Move the mailbox somewhere else, say, /tmp
2. cat /tmp/usermailbox | formail -s sendmail -v user at mydomain.com
3. Let MailScanner reprocess the entire mailbox back into the user's inbox.

Problem with this approach is that if you have the "leave messages on
server" option, it will probably "break" and you'll wind up with repeated
messages in the user's inbox. No biggie, but can be annoying.

Cheers,

Alex
