Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant to say (not thinking this morning).

SAV SMTP replaces the attached with the deleted0.txt which explains what
files was removed from the email and why. We use that.

But no matter how many times you explain this to users, explain why the
deleted0.txt is placed there, they still ring up every time they get one
saying "I think I have a virus".

Each time it's the same response: "If you open the deleted0.txt attachment,
it will tell you what file was removed from the email, and why. It's ok,
that text file is quite safe to open. Yes, yes I'm sure it's safe. Open it
up."

But, SAV for SMTP is definitely the way to go. In my opinion anyway!

You can have the gateway delete the attachemnt and pass the email. We use
SAV for SMTP gateways
