| and who couldn't find an answer using Google if their life depended on it
| (not that I mean that *all* AV support personnel work in such conditions,
| but *none of them* should, even if *some* do).

| Reply off-list unless it has to do something with MailScanner - which I
| doubt. Thanks for your time.


checkout the AVPlugin to DansGuardian that was based off of MailScanner.
