07 Remediation
Upgrade to hMailServer 6.3.7, in which the action replaces a message whose one part is an attachment, an S/MIME message signed as one part among them, with its note, as it replaces a message with no text part, and deletes a message it cannot read, or whose stripped form it cannot write over the message's file, as the delete action does, sending its recipients the message-deleted notice. A message that is one text part, and an encrypted message, are still delivered as they arrived. Until then, set the anti-virus action to delete the whole message, the default, wherever an infected message must not be delivered.
