<P>I am running MailScanner 4.10-1 on RedHat 7.3. After commenting out the deny lines I ran the following commands to restart MailScanner:
<P>"service sendmail stop" "chkconfig sendmail off" "chkconfig MailScanner on" "service MailScanner start"
<P>I was still receiving the {Virus?} in the subject line so I restarted the server and still continue to receive {Virus?} in the subject line. I am a new user to RedHat and MailScanner so if there is any info I am leaving out that would be helpful please let me know. Thanks again for the response.
<P>
