Greetings Tony, On Wednesday, December 4, 2002, 3:24:52 AM, you wrote: TB> If I turn email scanning off to save time when sending mail, that would TB> also stop incoming mail being scanned. Certainly there must be a method of leaving incoming mail scanning on and toggling off outgoing mail scanning,src= The problems I have seen in the past with NAV (never tried NPF) installed on some workstations is that a message containing a significant sized file attachment caused SMTP server time outs because the server handshake was initiated, client connected to NAV's SMTP engine, NAV connected to the host SMTP server and then NAV took it's time (and system resources) scanning the attachment and the server decided no one was home, dropped the connection and end of story. Every restart of the MUA caused the same problem as the MUA believed the message and attachment were not delivered and around and around we go, in an endless loop, until the "offending message" is deleted from the outbox. Fortunately NAV had settings that allowed incoming mail to be scanned and outgoing mail scanning disabled. The topic has been beat to death here and on TBUDL and TBOT about exactly what gets accomplished utilizing mail scanning properties of an AV product if a resident scan engine is running so I won't go there. -- Regards, DG Raftery Sr. Press any key to continue or any other key to quit...
