Yes, it is terminated completely and correctly, and Declude will continue 
processing the E-mail as if the virus scanner finished and reported that 
the E-mail was virus-free.

Does the new beta 1.70 with interims address the issues of the No filename 
in disp
Content-Disposition: attachment?
No -- we are not aware of any issue here (except the obvious; that some 
E-mails have what appear to be broken Content-Disposition: headers).

Should I be running it (i.e. more stable) than the 1.69beta?
I would recommend running 1.70, as it is the latest beta version.

Is the 60sec delay on timeout for scanning pretty normal, or should I be 
setting that to less.
The timeout value is fine (it shouldn't take a scanner more than a few 
seconds to scan an E-mail, even under heavy load).

My only concern is large attachment scanning.
Virus scanners typically can scan multimegabyte files in less than a 
second, from what we have seen, so this shouldn't be an issue.

 Today we had a 'horrible' thing happened with our scanner (have two 
in place F-Prot and InoculateIT),  not sure which one had issues:

06/04/2003 14:51:29 Q3ef6000501666762 ERROR: Virus scanner didn't finish 
after 60 seconds; terminating.
This is the problem -- one of the virus scanners was getting stuck, and 
not finishing its scanning (which also indirectly caused further problems, 
such as the sharing violation).

his took our server to a crawl as it couldn't scan emails, there was 30 
min. of living he.. there.  When I checked the spool folder we were in 
overflow due to the backup of the virus scanning.  We are also still 
continuing to receive a ton of these in my logs:

06/04/2003 08:45:39 Qe9ec092201523842 No filename in disp 
Content-Disposition: attachment.
Searching through viruses we've received, we found a W32/[EMAIL PROTECTED] that 
could cause this unusual warning.  It should not normally appear for 
legitimate E-mails, however.

Also, if I have issues with the scanners, what should be the sequence to 
aid in the problem above.
The key here would be to find out which of the two scanners wasn't 
finishing, and fix it.  However, that may be difficult to do.  The next 
release of Declude Virus will log which scanner didn't finish.
