David,
That works, but the user still gets and email with a note about "attachment
removed" or something. What Piet wants (and me too) is for the user to just
not receive the email at all.
I have never once received an email where I needed the body of the email but
not the virus infected attachment. If the email has a virus, I want the
whole email to stop at the server (not just the attachment) and never get to
my inbox.
I'll be watching this thread to see if someone has found a solution for
this...
