Can't be done. The "553" part is controlled by qmail-smtpd - not Qmail-Scanner. Otherwise I would have done that on day one :-) > > 1b) as alternative, a mechanism to simple delete all incoming messages > containing predefined viruses. No - I can never see the point in simply deleting a message. Quarantines are the only solution available. You must think about this from my point of view. If Q-S provided a "delete" option, then a bug or misconfiguration could lead to a site losing a tonne of mail. I'd get people screaming at me that it's my fault. I don't like being screamed at. So instead it only quarantines. That way the worse case senario is that a tonne of mail ends up in the quarantine directory - where it can be recovered. If you want to auto-delete stuff, that's what "find" and "cron" are for :-) > > 2) Would it be possible to modify Q-S in order to have a semplified version > that anyone could use easily with raw e-mails?
