Yes, a bounce notice may be sent, but in reality most likely one will not be sent because: #Exception: bounce (DSN) will not be sent if a virus name matches [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the setting in the provided amavisd.conf includes *all* viruses in @viruses_that_fake_sender_maps: @viruses_that_fake_sender_maps = (new_RE( # [qr'\bEICAR\b'i => 0], # av test pattern name # [qr'^(WM97|OF97|Joke\.)'i => 0], # adjust names to match your AV scanner [qr/^/ => 1], # true for everything else )); > What happen if I put > $warnvirussender=0 (will not the notify be sent to the sender ?) 0 = false , so nothing has changed here. If $warnvirussender = 1; then the sender should be notified, but the sender is probably faked, so this is not recommended because it causes a lot of confusion for innocent senders who are probably not infected. It looks like amavisd-new is smart enough to send a maximum of 1 notice to the sender when D_BOUNCE and warn*sender are both used. It looks like $warnvirussender follows the same rules as a bounce notice, so if the virus is included in @viruses_that_fake_sender_maps the sender still will not get a notice. It appears to me that setting $warnvirussender = 1; and $final_virus_destiny = D_DISCARD; is not much different than setting $final_virus_destiny = D_BOUNCE; by itself. No matter what the $final_virus_destiny is set to, $warnvirussender is of limited use IMHO. > and > $warnvirusrecip=1 (will the notify be sent to the recipient ? (in the > definition the notify should be sent only to the sender) ) Yes, a message will be sent to the (local) recipient notifying them that someone tried to send them a virus. It will be worded differently from the message the sender may get. If you wanted to notify recipients not considered local using $warnvirusrecip, you would also have to set: $warn_offsite = 1; # (defaults to false (undef), i.e. only notify locals) > thank > Andrea Gary V ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
