I'm not messing with it, uvscan is doing it. Is there a better software alternative that will delete viruses on the server? Are we the only people using cyrus that are running virus scanning software on the server? Btw, I would think cyrus should be able to handle the simple case of a missing single file. I should be able to delete a message for which the message file is already missing. We're not talking about a complex database file structure here. It's a single file with a single message.
