The only problem with the SMTP solution is the delay and another point of failure for you system....with a solution that actually scans the spool you limit your delay....and decrease your risk of downtime....

The Corporate version of NAV that I use has a seperate module for "gateways".  It's actually an SMTP server.  It'll scan all the mail going through it.  This is probably a better solution than trying to get NAV to scan the spool files.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Norton Antivirus

Hi, I have a question and want to see if anyone has a solution for this. We are running iMail 6.x and Norton Antivirus Corporate 7.5. Here is the question. NAV will come up and tell me if there is a virus in the \imail\spool directory, but is never able to clean it. Is there anyway to tell iMail to allow NAV to have access to the file to clean it, or is there something I can tell NAV to do to gain access to the file to clean. I have read where with NAV 2001 you have to change the port on iMail so NAV can scan SMTP on port 25, but the problem doesn't seem to be scanning, it seems to be it just can't clean the files. Any help/advise will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in Advance
