Hi Julian,

I was just testing with the Quarantine Silent Viruses = no but either i am
doing something wrong or its not working properly.

Currently i am scanning with 3 virus scanners.

This is a sample from the log:

"msg-18961-2.html" to
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20040620/1Bc0jl-0004xr-FC

My silent viruslist looks like:

Silent Viruses = Klez Yaha Bugbear Lentin Sobig Mimail Lovelorn Dumaru
Gibe Ganda Lovgate Fizzer Hybris Akosw Swen Sober Bagle
 Mydoom Netsky Worm Torvil JS.Spam Zafi

And i have Quarantine Silent Viruses = no

But i still see those ones going to my quarantine dir...

Am i missing something ? Or is it broken? I tested on 2 servers.

Bye,
Raymond.
