Re: [Qmail-scanner-general]Behaviour on virus cleaned attachments

[Jonas M. <jon...@ja...>]

Hi!
Most of the emails with viruses are generated by the virus and doesn't
contain any useful information. Those emails can be sent in several copies
to the same recipient too, so those emails are not wanted at all, with or
without the infected attachment.

If there is a infected word-document for example, and the mail is sent by
the sender (and not just a virus on the senders computer), it could be nice
if the email reached the recipient. In this case, however, the mail that
will reach the recipient is a completly new mail, and I think that it would
be pretty difficult to implement a function for this (at least to implement
it in the right way).

        / Jonas
