Re: [Qmail-scanner-general]virus_cc variable

[Gary M. <Gary@EdisonInfo.com>]

No, I don't send virus's! <vbg> Whenever an infected email comes in, it
gets scanned by qmail-scanner then quarentined right? QS then sends a
notification to the admin of what it did, and also sends a notice to
whatever is in the cc: variable in the qmail-scanner-queue.pl script.
Possibly from lack of understanding what it wanted, I put myself in both
places, so therefore I get two copies of the notice. (I turned off the
'notify sender' option to keep from spamming newsgroups.) I subscribe to
another loop that for 24hours now has been absolutely flooded with
ping-pong notices from everyones server telling you it found the virus.
Very near DoS attack level due to the qty of msgs.
