Webmail isn't very ... friendly when it comes to you telling it where to
deliver messages to.

With a mail server installed on the same machine, I could not force Webmail
to deliver local mail through the virus checking program.  Smtpd just
ldelivered them to the local mailboxes, ignoring the settings to forward
mail.   Called Ipswitch, and got a "that's a good idea, but you'll never
live to see it" when I suggested that webmail forward local mail per the
SMTP Settings tab.

I think that SMTPd is fundamentally split into two programs.  One that you
can interface with dealing with mail coming from domains exterior of the
mailserver, and one that you have little to no control over dealing with
mail from internal to anywhere else.  I'd love to have a bit more control
over the second half, but I'd love a lot of things.  I guess knowing your
faults helps plan around them, eh?

Your best bet would be to install a mail scanner on your local mail
machine's port 25, move Imail's SMTP ports to 2525 or somesuch, and set up
forwarding from the virus checking program to Imail.  That way, your SMTP
clients (outlook express, netscape, eudora, etc) can benifit from the port
25 checking for both local and external mail deliveries.  This does tend to
devour spare cpu time though, so be sure you can handle it.  The only hole
in your net would be webmail users sending local mail to your imail
domain(s).

Never tried scanning the spool directory with a normal virus checker, but I
don't think it would be able to script a response message to the offending
sender / and recipient.

Hope this helps,
John.
