As others have said, 'deny' is the right thing to do. But just to give
everyone a laugh - I was using accept/freeze last night to trap an example
of a particular virus. Worked a treat - until auto_thaw kicked in later
:-(


Actually, going further OT ... in exiscan-acl-spec.txt (-14) there is a
nice example:-

    # Freeze .exe and .doc files. Postmaster can
    # examine them and eventually thaw them up.
    deny  log_message = Another $found_extension file.
          demime = exe:doc
          control = freeze


which really ought to be an 'accept', I believe.

HTH,
