What I am suggesting is that, because you appear to have a requirement that is significantly different from nearly everyone else that has responded in this thread, you are in the best position to roll your own solution rather than suggesting that ClamAV is changed to accommodate your requirement. At least until you have tried it and have further suggestions to make based on the experience gained. Personally speaking I use ClamAV called by Exim and also SpamAssassin. ClamAV detecting any malware causes a rejection at SMTP time. SA passes the mail back to Exim after marking it up and this then allows for filtering by the user. I chose to do it this way because I add extra rules to SA to bump up scores of what would otherwise be marginal spam. As you seem to wish to do the opposite of this with ClamAV I agree that it might be more difficult, but I can't see how else to achieve what you want. A separation of signatures into SE and non-SE won't suit me for one and even if everyone wanted that it adds to the effort involved. I find it really hard to understand why you want to do it as well, I find that ClamAV kills the obvious signature-based phishing attacks and SA spots those that ClamAV doesn't. Two lines of defence is fine by me. -- Brian Morrison bdm at fenrir dot org dot uk GnuPG key ID DE32E5C5 - http://wwwkeys.uk.pgp.net/pgpnet/wwwkeys.html _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
