M> 2.- You forward the message _after_ NOD32 signatures have been updated.

I have tested it with the EICAR test virus and AMON does not scan the
temp file, and neither AMON nor IMON scan the outgoing mail.  I have
since installed the plug-in for The Bat! and thank heavens the plug-in
forces the scan of outgoing mail.

It looks like the German version at http://tinyurl.com/yoo2q3 is a
couple years newer than the version on the Ritlabs site (though that
doesn't necessarily mean it's better).  The newer version has a
different user interface when it identifies infected outgoing mail.
