It does check outbound mail for viruses, yes. But in any case, does
anyone know of a virus that can send itself to people in your
address book if you are using The Bat!? {On-topic warning!!} The
only ones I've heard of depend on Outlook.
As for outgoing connections, I don't want to stop them entirely, not
when it is at the expense of running useful programs like
Website-Watcher.
