Thanks Serge, You mean running the Windows virus scanner from a mailet, right? Should work, but not very elegant and probably not scalable. OTOH, I would only have to scan messages with attachments. Which leaves me wondering, if I'm the only one worried about viruses. Or maybe I'm the only one using Windows ;-)
