Amavis Virus Notifications [solved]



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


Last week someone asked the question of how to turn off virus
notifications; not notification to the sender, but to postmaster.

I've located the fix.

In /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user, add the line:

$virus_admin = undef; # do not send virus admin notifications

This has been in place at two of my servers, and these needless
notifications have stopped.

(Yay!)
