on the 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></SPAN></DIV>
