Sorry for the delay.

Here is what I want to have in my data acl:

discard
  condition   = ${if <{$message_size}{2048}{true}{false}}
  malware     = *
  log_message = VIRUS ($malware_name) RCPT=$acl_m9 SUB=${quote:$h_subject:} \
                MSGID=$h_message-id:

With the above I get this in the log:

2005-01-10 12:03:32 1Co2wv-00023u-K7 => blackhole (DATA ACL discarded recipients)

The stuff I put in log_message doesn't come out. So I do this instead:

warn
  condition   = ${if <{$message_size}{2048}{true}{false}}
  malware     = *
  log_message = VIRUS ($malware_name) RCPT=$acl_m9 SUB=${quote:$h_subject:} \
                MSGID=$h_message-id:
discard
  condition   = ${if <{$message_size}{2048}{true}{false}}
  malware     = *

and now I get:

2005-01-10 12:18:18 1Co3BD-00024S-Br VIRUS (Trojan.Spy.Goldun.Gen-pack) RCPT=msprague@??? SUB="" MSGID=
2005-01-10 12:18:18 1Co3BD-00024S-Br => blackhole (DATA ACL discarded recipients)

I still wish to do more testing on this but I got swamped with another task
and I was able to get a work around pretty easily. If I discover anything else
I'll let you know.

thanks,
mikeS
