That is why I would use both and have in the past. As an Example, ScanMail has/had the ability to do MAPI and AVAPI, plus body scanning.

The Microsoft AVAPI 1.0 for Exchange 5.5 only provides scanning of message attachments. So an additional method, such as MAPI, is required to scan the message bodies.

I don't think there's any good reason to use MAPI if AVAPI is working. AVAPI is supposedly infallible because it's in the middle of message flow; that is, no messages are supposed to pass unless being passed through the AVAPI. I'm not familiar with NAV, but you should be absolutely sure that you have the latest versions of NAV's code and the Microsoft AVAPI code. Earlier versions were problematic.

Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 6:43 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Is there a workaround to use both MAPI and AVAPI with NAV for Ex change 5.5? When we loaded the latest NAV for exchange 5.5 it had the new AVAPI option so we had it use both MAPI and AVAPI modes. This seemed to work but several strange things began to happen. First thing we noticed is that users who tried to move a lot of messages from one folder to another would get error messages (message was moved or access denied) and only some of the messages would move. They could get around this problem by moving messages one at a time, but if they were trying to move 200 messages this would be unsatisfactory. Also, if you would try to export a users mail to a PST file, you would get the same type of error and you would end up with a PST that only had some of the messages you tried to export. We turned off AVAPI and all is good again, except I'm sure it is possible to slip a virus past the scanner if it gets too busy. Does anyone know of a workaround to make the AVAPI thing really work?
