Hey Rob,

Riiiight.... whoops :) I'm playing with XAV now (with this helpful new 
info!), as I'd prefer to be running a C app over emails than a Windows 
Script... but have hit another problem.

When running XMail in debug mode, and sending an email thru with a 
virused attachment, the XAV app is returning a value of 0, so the 
infected email is still going through.

With debugging enabled in the xav.ini file, the log file shows:

[2003-12-04 15:08:30] XAVMessage=[Your email was rejected due to a virus 
attachment.]
[2003-12-04 15:08:30] AntivirusPath=[d:\Apps\f-prot\f-prot.exe]
[2003-12-04 15:08:30] AntivirusCommand=
[/COLLECT /DUMB /AI /ARCHIVE /NOBOOT /NOMEM /PACKED /NOFLOPPY /SILENT]
[2003-12-04 15:08:30] AntivirusReturn=[3]
[2003-12-04 15:08:30] DecoderPath=[d:\Apps\xav\mpack\munpack.exe]
[2003-12-04 15:08:30] DecoderCommand=[]
[2003-12-04 15:08:30] DecoderReturn=[1]
[2003-12-04 15:08:30] Creating temp folder D:\Apps\xav\tmp-1070579309708-
3620-swing


Any ideas? :)

Cheers,
John :)
