We run Interscan VirusWall--it only deleted the infected attachment, and leaves the message intact (with a note inside telling the user that the attachment was deleted). This makes for some confusion (the user still wants the attachment, thinking it is real mail, and not just a virus. That seems to be a hard concept), but leaves cyrus unaffected. Are there any viruses that infect the whole message? I cannot think of any, maybe you can modify the uvscan program to just delete the attachment, instead of the whole message? c* ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark London" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 3:07 PM Subject: Problem with cyrus and deleting a message with a virus.
