I am new to the mailing list world and didn't know if it was bad form to post a question to someone else's question...if it is please let me know and I won't do it again...
Using "reply" to ask a new question of your own is not a good idea. Many of us use mailers that support threading. Threading puts replies immediately beneath the original message, usually indented, and with some visual indication that the messages are connected. Threading makes it easy to see an entire discussion.
Threading does not use the Subject line, it uses the In-Reply-To and References headers. These are not normall displayed in mail clients, but they are used for threading.
When you reply to a message, your mail client includes the Message-ID from the original message and puts it in the In-Reply-To header in your reply. This makes your reply show up as part of the original thread, not as a new question (new thead).
This is an Internet standard, definined in section 3.6.4 of RFC2822:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt
If you have a new question, start a new message, and please use a descriptive subject, not something like "help" or "newbie question". In your case, something like "Need antivirus solution for Linux mail server".
I am looking for something that checks for virus's before it sends to my users, like mentioned in the below post? Does anyone know of a software like this?
I've seen "amavis" mentioned as a good solution many times.
