I second this plea. This is exactly the reason why we are not using it here (we, too, process more than a million messages/day) I think that it would be ideal to have a function that you can pass a pointer to a MIME message in memory (possibly mmaped file), which would parse it, decoding parts as necessary or scanning them in place when possible, and return result code. Once there is such functions, it will be trivial to make wrapper suitable for any specific MTA. OTOH, maybe it's better to have MIME parser separate from the virus scanner... -- Eugene Crosser, head of Internet Applications section, +7 501 787 1000 ROL, EDN Sovintel, Golden Telecom, http://user.rol.ru/~crosser/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
