Well don't I feel stupid.

I am trying to have all mail go through WebShield before it's delivered 
to the Imail server so that if someone inside gets a virus it will be 
caught instead of going to all local users in their address book.  I 
guess I either have to move WebShield to the Imail server or get Declude.

Thanks for your help,
Dan
