Hi,
Currently I'm running following system:
OS: Linux Suse 9.1
MTA: Exim 4.34
Mailscanner: Version 4.31.6-1
Virus scanner: McAfee uvscan
The system is running so far but mailscanner sends out infected mails
and doesn't put them in quarantine:
MailScanner[20004]: Virus and Content Scanning: Starting
MailScanner[20004]:
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/20004/1BaE7W-0005D2-Iw/virus2 Found the
W32/Netsky.d.eml!exe virus !!!
MailScanner[20004]: Virus Scanning: McAfee found 1 infections
MailScanner[20004]: Infected message var came from
MailScanner[20004]: Virus Scanning: Found 1 viruses
MailScanner[20004]: Uninfected: Delivered 1 messages
My mailscanner config:
Virus Scanning = yes
Virus Scanners = mcafee
Virus Scanner Timeout = 300
Deliver Disinfected Files = no
Silent Viruses = All-Viruses HTML-IFrame
Still Deliver Silent Viruses = no
Quarantine Infections = yes
Quarantine Silent Viruses = yes
Quarantine Whole Message = yes
Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = yes
Mailscanner should only put infected mails in quarantine.
But it seems that mailscanner ignores uvscan's results
and declares infected mails as clean.
Has someone an idea why mailscanner act in this manner?
Regards
Markus
