Strange - we run Scanmail here and don't have that issue.

In Scanmail for Exchange config, Virus Scan, Options, Virus Scan...:
We use 'Specify scan actions' and have it try to clean anything it finds -
if unsuccessful, it deletes them.
In Notifications, we don't have 'Mail' ticked as there is no need to notify
anyone [if something was there it either got cleaned or killed]

That not work for you?

Regards,

David
