Dave, Which version are you using? - I've gone to 2002 because I'm now using XP and the autodelete function seems not to be present in 2002 - worked fine in 2000 and 2001 though. The email scanner in 2002 works in a very different way to earlier versions and needs no email client configuration. The only automatic function seems to be autorepair, which pops up a dialog on every infected mail (infuriating) as it can't repair it, plus it picks up the tmp file created by the bat, presumably because the mail is intercepted in a different way from 2000/2001. To make things worse, what's left of any infected mail has most of its headers removed. I've heard that 2001 can be got to work in XP, so I might give it a try - that worked fine in Windows 2000. Advice from Symantec on their forums seems to be along the lines of disabling the email scanner, as it is only a supplementary function, and relying instead on the resident scanner. Seems to ignore the point of why some users want to use email scanning but there you go.
