Julian, I'd revise that list. Really all he needs to disable is 62 to
get mail from you. The others might hit mail from this list quoting spam
reports, but some won't even do that. One doesn't even look to be
MailScanner related at all.


#This looks for a virus-scanning tool name in the From, including
MailScanner (ie: Julian's mail)
score VIRUS_WARNING62   0

#These are body rules and might hit posts on this list with people
quoting output from their MailScanner.
score VIRUS_WARNING28   0
score VIRUS_WARNING33   0
score VIRUS_WARNING226  0
score VIRUS_WARNING250  0
score VIRUS_WARNING300  0
score VIRUS_WARNING326  0
score VIRUS_WARNING340  0

# The following are header rules that won't hit mail from you or this
list, but will hit real virus warnings from MailScanner. Won't hit
quotes on the list.
# These are probably safe to keep on, unless you re-scan your postmaster
warning messages.
# subject mentions "email viruses detected"
score VIRUS_WARNING15   0
 #Any header contains "Found to be infected"
score VIRUS_WARNING66   0

#This one appears to have nothing to do with MailScanner at all:
# looks for body-text reference to ISSWarning.txt, probably not
MailScanner related despite description
score VIRUS_WARNING339  0
