I have Amavis working just fine...It appears to be sending viruses from my MAIL-DAEMON account...It's this possible?
See message I received at virusalert

A virus was found in an email from:

MAILER-DAEMON@primelink1.net

The message was addressed to:

-> you@claim-your-name.com

What has probably happened is that someone sent your network a virus to a user who no longer has an account.

The mailserver itself then sent a response back to the initater, but the response had the virus also.

So then it would "appear" that you mail server was sending out the virus.

To be on the safe side though. I would request the headers from the person who recieved the e-mail from the mail-daemon account.

Make sure that someone was not spoofing your address to send virus' as.
