Hi all,

I have a user who forwards his emails to a different ISP.
I have SpamAssassin and ClamAV installed on my server.

What happens to his emails?
Do they first get scanned and cleand from viruses, or do they get forwarded with no checks?

What about the RBL checks, do they first get checked and then forwarded or does forwarding takes precedence over all of the above regardless of the content?

Last, I have seen many emails of Rejects (I guess by ClamAV) that sends the original msg back with "A virus was found in your msg ...".
I don't want such behaviour. If a virus was found, I don't want to send anything to anyone. I just want it to fall into a blackhole / deleted.
I don't see a point in returning the msg with the virus in it. It was sent probably from a zombie or some ficticious email anyhow (thats how I find it in the queue).
so how can I set it to "delete"?

Thanks,

-Alon.
