Hi, I did encounter the same, when I implemented Trend Viruswall on Linux for few cases. I started to regret why I bothered to implement the solution ...
The only workaround is, not to follow the recommendation of Trend: try not to create to mail queues. Run Trend on the same SMTP / TCP port as the Sendmail. When you telnet to port 25, you see the Sendmail details as well as Trend Details.... this did trap all viruses (and I still believe it to be doing so ... ) And if you have a good ISP side secondary mail server, try and deny direct mail delivery to your mail server: make all mail come through the ISPs sec-mail server. This slows traffic, but sure stops spam .. (in case Trend does open up your mail server as a open-relay). Alternate: Look at Mail Gateway from Borderware, which has a lot of anti-relay features and functions. and includes Trend as an Anti-virus option as well .... and also updates from RBL list on know spam sites.
