[Elton <ehd@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I deleted all filters, created a new ClamAv filter and if I forward the virus you sent me to another mail box it will pass -- ClamAv will not filter it.

By putting ClamAV first, you will be scanning for virus first, then other filter later.  This way, you can actually find out how many virus is sent to your system by forwarding to a quarantined mailbox.

Also, can't we have the ability to have the choice of filtering an email and either aborting all other filtering or having all filters test it?
