>> It is returning a "550" error code during the SMTP transaction, rather than sending a virus notification. In that case, the remote mailserver is responsible for determining the format of the bounce message. << Scott - do I understand you correctly? IMail AntiVirus is rejecting infected emails DURING the SMTP communication? In other words, it doesn't first get accepted (as is the case with Declude)? If that's the case, then I see this as a major advantage of Imail's AntiVirus solution. I wouldn't HAVE to worry about the extra message volume caused by sending out virus notifications (possibly to faked addresses) and then deal with the bounce messages because they WERE faked. Instead the SENDING mail server would know that the mail was never ACCEPTED and that server is much better suited to notify the TRUE sender. As much as I love Declude (and I would want to keep it), I'd see that as the "right" way of blocking unwanted email and I would finally give Imail AntiVirus a serious consideration.
