You'll get code 2 for any error. If your mail setup can identify that the code 2 came from a password protected zip file (my setups can't) then you have a choice to pass the message or not. On the other hand if you can't identify this situation the only sensible option is to let the message pass, and try to correct the cause of the problem. For the specific case of the password protected zip file, in my opinion, you should let it pass because it could be a clean message as much as it could be a virus. In any case the mail users should know what is the policy. I had a similar situation with the default settings of MailScanner, it checks for virus, then it checks for file types and file extension, and even if the file has no virus it can reject say a .exe file, users knew that and after some time hated that, so I changed it -- only viri are stopped. -- René Berber _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
