Deliver Cleaned Messages = yes (bypasses spam engine)

[Shawn Iverson]

Is there a way to configure MailScanner so that Deliver Cleaned Messages still get checked as spam and not blindly delivered without spam checks?

Shawn,

Why would you want to have an email delivered that arrived with a virus
attached to it in the first place? I cannot think of any circumstance
where you would want to. Keep in mind that viruses are not "bad files".
For example, a .exe (if not allowed by your policy) would be a bad file.
Not a virus.

Spam can have viruses attached. Just because it has a virus, and the virus is removed, doesn't mean that the email itself should be delivered without checking against the spam engine. That is what is happening. The virus is removed, and the email is delivered without a spam score.

Shawn,

I think you missed my point. Set:

Deliver Cleaned Messages = no

As it is very unlikely that you are going to find an email that is not
spam that accidentally had a virus attached by someone.

I have checked some logs and all checks stop once a virus is found.

Thanks for the clarification.
