You can control the outcome with the following parameters after
--avq
(the Help

--avq --help

Deleting emails from queue
Deleting emails from the queue is important in the event of infected emails. Forwarded
emails are automatically deleted from the queue.
You have to delete the emails from the
rejected
queue manually.
To delete denied emails immediately, you can use the option
ExternalProgram
in
avmailgate.conf
. For example:
ExternalProgram /usr/lib/AntiVir/rm_rejected.sh
rm_rejected.sh:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avmailgate.bin --avq --remove=$1
X
Find out the ID of the email. AntiVir MailGate indicates the ID of the email in
its logs and in the email sent to the postmaster.
You can apply the following parameters to the outcome:
Parameter
Description
--queue=incoming
Lists the emails in the incoming queue
--queue=outgoing

--list=all

--type=<type>
Lists all rejected emails of the specific type.
Other types can be:

--type=<notype>

prefix "no":
nospam, nomal
, etc.

Switches off the sorting. By default, the queue listing is sorted
by date (according to the internal timestamp of the queue file),
with the newest email in the last position.
