No (your question doesn't even make sense, if you think about it, since there's an explicit mail loop). The only solution is to run an IMail-integrated product: Declude, www.declude.com, and IMail Antivirus both qualify. With some tweaks, it's actually possible to run Declude *only* on Web Messaging messages, so you can keep using WebShield if you have some commitment to it; this isn't the best use of resources, though. -Sandy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
