The files are accessible to anti-virus code created by a private company. So what? Do you really think they will scan the files to change their contents? - they will not be able to report any finding, because I have a tight policy on the mail server. - they will not be able to change the files because I run the anti-virus from amavis, amavis provides a copy of the files for virus checking and all cares about is a return status saying clean or infected, the files that have been checked are discarded. So, they can be KGB or whatever, as long as they do the job... Olivier
