This  part  would  have  to be done with some scripting in either Perl
and/or  VBS  that would attach to the e-mail account via IMAP and scan
with  the  f-prot  command line scanner the individual messages. Then,
when one is found, remove the message via IMAP. At least this is how I
would  do  it.  However, I don't know if there is any way for a single
all-powerful  account  to  access every account on the server with one
password. I don't know. Maybe there is an easier way.

Sounds like to me you need to set up a profile in the F-Prot On-Demand
scanner  part that would include everything on the hard drive with the
exception  of  \spool\virus.  There  is no global settings for what to
include  and  what  to exclude. You do that through the profile setup.
Then in the scheduler part, schedule the profile you set up.
