MTA:SA fix

MTA warns that it could not detect an anti-virus

This is a warning, not a block. MTA says an anti-virus is not needed to run it, but strongly recommends having one that is running and up to date.

Steps

Try one step, then check whether the problem is still there. Follow any "only if" line before changing a setting.

1. Check that your anti-virus is running

   Make sure an anti-virus program is installed and switched on. MTA's page lists free ones if you have none.

2. Update it and run a full scan

   MTA's page says to update the anti-virus, check that real-time scanning is on, and run a complete scan. Then start MTA again.

3. On a Mac this warning is expected

   Only when running MTA on a Mac.

   MTA's wiki says MTA cannot detect Mac anti-virus programs. Tick the box that you will not install an anti-virus and press OK.
