And I assume there is a reason other than Ipswitch and Symantec make more
money?

A mailserver AV program requires 3 pieces: [1] A mailserver, [2] A program that can detect viruses in files on the hard drive, and [3] The "glue" to combine the two (decoding attachments, hooking into the mailserver and the virus scanner, sending notifications, etc.). NC just has #2 and part of #3. Essentially, what it is saying is "We'll find every known virus in any file on the hard drive, and we may be able to find some viruses in some E-mail files." If that's good enough for you, and you know the potential pitfalls (such as legitimate E-mail in .mbx files being deleted, and no record of lost E-mail), you don't need anything else.


Otherwise, you pay the bigger bucks for a program that is designed specifically to incorporate #1, #2, and #3 above, and that does claim to catch viruses in .eml files. That can be Symantec's NAVIEG (which combines #1, #2, and #3), IMail AntiVirus (which uses IMail as #1, and Symantec components as #2 and #3), Declude Virus (which uses IMail as #1, our components for #2, a desktop scanner for #3), or another program like NAVIEG (combining #1, #2, and #3).
