Delete (action={pass,delete})
Deletes viruses.
The e-mail that contains the virus is replaced with the information specified in the virus
detection message.
The detection event is recorded in the log, a notification is sent to the administrator, and
X-Virus-Status: is added to the header even if the virus is not deleted.
We recommend that you enable this setting.
It is not possible to delete the e-mail completely or block it from being delivered to the
user. The reason for this are the specifications of the POP protocol.
