For my benefit, so I'll know what to suggest to people with the same

<dd>No not on the machine running mailscanner, but outlook 2000 on a

the outside domain received it with the virus in tact.. Its the test

<dd>Did it get any X-MailScanner: header at all?
<dd>If not, then it probably didn't go via the MailScanner server.
<dd>If it did, then what did the header say? What is in your
mailscanner.conf file?<br><br>
<dd>Unless it is told to, MailScanner doesn't care what addresses are in
the email

<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.
