machine running mailscanner, but outlook 2000 on a workstation sent an email
to an outside domain with a virus to test and the outside domain received it
with the virus in tact.. Its the test virus you referred me earlier to use..
when I reply (from the outside domain) and its incoming to mailscanner, it
will pick it up then. only incoming scanning is taken place not
outgoing.</FONT><BR><FONT face=arial color=#0000ff

it did, then what did the header say? What is in your mailscanner.conf

<DD>>Is this normal? <BR><BR>
<DD>Did you run the email client program on the machine that is running
<DD>MailScanner, by any chance? If so, did you make the email program talk
SMTP
<DD>to localhost:25 or did it invoke sendmail directly? <BR><BR>
<DD>MailScanner (when running with sendmail) can only scan mail coming in
the
<DD>SMTP port. There is no way (with sendmail) of scanning mail poked
directly
<DD>at the sendmail binary.
