Actually most mail clients use IMAP/POP for incoming and only SMTP for
outgoing. Twiggi, SquirrelMail and most of the other PHP IMAP clients
are able to use IMAP/POP incoming and for outgoing can use SMTP, IMAP or
their own internal engine.

IMP does not bypass RAV. Never has, hopefully never will. Under SME5 it
still passes mail through the qmail-queue. RAV scans everything in the
qmail-queue. IMP and RAV under SME5 are working fine. Providing virus
scanning of IMP was imperitive in my choice to support RAV.
Twiggi/SquirrelMail can be toggled to also do direct IMAP sending, just
like IMP does. This may be an interim solution however direct IMAP
sending is not as robust as using SMTP.
The problem is not with RAV directly. The RAV engine works fine. IMAP
and direct sendmail work fine. There has been a change to the SMTP
structure. This same thing happened last time when e-smith implemented
obtuse.smtp. RAV jumped in, found the problem and released an update to
overcome this change. I'm confident they will be able to analyze the
changes in SME5 and release a new update to compensate.
As you can see below, it is smtpfwdd that is aborting:
smtpd[1612]: SMTP HELO from localhost(127.0.0.1) as "netsourced.com"
smtpd[1612]: mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
smtpd[1612]: smtp connection from UNKNOWN@localhost(127.0.0.1) MAIL FROM:

ravmd[1628]: scanning file </var/spool/rav/qmail/RAVEzzHhZ->(part0000:)>
ravmd[1628]: file_ok
ravmd[1628]: end_ok.
smtpfwdd[1625]: Sendmail exited abnormally (status 28416) - message not
forwarded.
smtpfwdd[699]: Child process (1625) failed - no retry
Hope this explains things more clearly. As I mentioned in a previous
post, anyone who had RAV installed and upgraded to SME5, Webmail still
works as before with RAV scanning for viruses.
