No, I don't.

I don't plan to run the new version until it's out of beta.

If you're referring to the plugin, you need to enable the option in
the plug-in setup.

Nothing.  Please  wait  while I extract foot from mouth. I gave you a bum
steer  -  I  just  checked my own setup and you are right - only incoming
mail  is scanned. I sent out eicar test virus and NOD didn't react. In my
defense, I sure I saw reference to incoming/outgoing scanning in the help
file  but  I  can't  find  it now. Also, IMHO i'm not sure it's necessary
anyway  because  if  nod  hasn't  picked  up  the  system is infected, an
outgoing email scanner is not really going to be much use.

Sorry for the bum steer.

Merry Christmas

I just installed it, but the incoming mails are not scanned. Only the
on demand scanner works, but not the module that checks emails on port
110. I am doing something wrong?

I  will  stand  corrected on this but I think with the new version of NOD
you no longer need the plugins to scan the emails. Supposed to be using a
winsock  scanner.  I'm  still  testing it, but as far as I can see all my
incoming and outgoing email is scanned (I've removed the NOD32 plugin.)

Doesn't really answer your question but may give some leads. ;-)

I noted this as well, though the delay would occur only when
incoming messages contained attachments to be scanned.

I can say no in the case of DrWeb. The plug-in for it works very
nicely.

If you're already running a realtime system scanner then the plugin
will not confer any added protection. For me, it adds conveniences.
Infected messages are moved and placed in a TB! 'quarantine' folder.
I could have the plugin delete the infected attachment, attempt to
clean infected attachments or send a virus notification message to
the sender. You can also scan outgoing messages.

So, here is something I think it ON topic:

rather than simply relying on the same anti-virus software to protect the
