Hello,

What can these messages represent?  I have this occasionally when
customers send attachments with messages:

The messages are delivered with the virus warning and no attachments.
Attachment sizes vary from small to large.

I am running MailScanner-4.25-14 on RH9, and the
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/ is on a tmpfs directory in case that
matters.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
