Antivirus and James working together

[Nicola Ken Barozzi <ni...@apache.org>]

I had a strange encounter today with a couple of exceptions from James 
and the server antivirus.

We have James setup to use the DBs, but the james error said that it 
could not  find a file in c:\TEMP\Mail12345(etc).m64, and the Antivirus 
said that that same file had a virus. The file was not in TEMP when I 
looked.

So it seems that James uses the temp dir to place mime messages before 
putting them in the DB, that the antivirus prevents tainted ones from 
being written, and thus James failes (gracefully?) because it cannot 
find the file to put in the DB.

Poor man's antivirus4JAmes?

Here is the stacktrace:
