Changing who is notified about a virus

Normally when a virus is detected in in-comming mail the alias 'VirusAlert' will be mailed the details and the message quarantined.

If you want to let others know then you do have to change one off the system files.
This is NOT accessable via the Admin login.

login as root
type vi /usr/sbin/amavis

Scroll down till you see the section:

#
# Notification etc.

# Notify admin/sender/recipient?
$warnadmin = "yes";
$warnsender = "no";
$warnrecip = "no";

# Notify off-site recipients?
$warn_offsite = "no";

The three lines:

$warnadmin	If this is set to yes (the default) then the user 'virusalert' will be mailed.
$warnsender	If set to yes then mail the SENDER that it contained a virus (default no). Generally do NOT change this option.
$warnrecip	If set to yes then mail the recipients that a mail has been received for them but has been quarantined.

If you set want_offsite to yes then if the recipient's domain is not the same as the local domain they will be warned - the default is no - not to send.

Change as required, and exit vi - the changes take affect straight away.
