First post! :)

Running 3.2.2 with the built-in database.

I discovered several issues with the e-mails sent regarding virus detection. If you want, I can put these in tracker.

1. For e-mails that are scanned, add the following header:
X-Virus-Scanned: (name of virus scanner)
This is pretty standard nowadays.

2. In the AntiVirus options, add a text box to enter your the name of virus scanner. I'm using the SOSDG build of ClamAV, not ClamWin. Mainly so I can use the daemon as a service.

3. In the AntiVirus options, the notification e-mails seem be dependent on the e-mail format. If my personality sets the From address to: J <jasond@somewhere.com>, then I won't get the notification if I send a virus. If it's just jasond@somewhere.com, then I will get it. You can see that doesn't seem to be parsing correctly here:

"APPLICATION" 884 "2004-07-26 17:03:39.154" "SMTPDeliverer - Message 89: Delivering message from MailDaemon to J jasond@somewhere.com."

However, if I send to J <jasond@somewhere.com> with a virus, and say notify receipient, it does work. It's only when I say notify sender that e-mail address isn't parsed correctly.

4. The date on these notification e-mails seems to be formatted oddly. Eudora doesn't even show a date in the In box. Now I'm no expert on dates for e-mail, but I've only had no dates a handful of times in my ten years on the net :)

This date doesn't display:
Date: 26-Jul-2004 17:20:58 -0500

But this does:
Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2004 15:13:20 -0500

That at least is what's in the e-mail.

Overall a great piece of software and easy to use. Thanks!

Jason

OK. The first two are not bugs and should have been posted in the other section in the forum (feature requests). Please add theese two to the trackers (as seperate items).

3,4) Please add to tracker as bug and I'll fix them for 3.3.

Thanks,
