 What is the suggested configuration for this option?
 PRESCAN   ON or OFF  ?

 Comments...? thanks

I have prescan on and, if you are running Virus Pro, I don't know why you
wouldn't want to enable it.  This from the Virus manual:
==
Declude Virus Pro has the option for pre-scanning E-mail, which can
significantly improve performance.

Since the majority of E-mails are really plaintext with a cute HTML
version of the E-mail attached (that is usually identical to the plain text
version), a lot of scanning may be done that isn't necessary. Plain HTML
files (without any scripts or other potentially dangerous code) are safe.

The pre-scanning in Declude Virus Pro will check HTML segments to see if
there is any potentially dangerous code (JavaScript, Active-X, plugins,
etc.). If so, it will send them to the virus scanner as they usually would
be. Otherwise, it will let them pass through unscanned, which will improve
performance.

To turn on pre-scanning, you can change the PRESCAN OFF line in the
\IMail\Declude\virus.cfg file to PRESCAN ON.

Thank you Bill. I am reviewing my config option and comparing them against
the releases notes, manual and make sure everything is up to date. Looking
at the PRESCAN option, it was OFF.. and I am unsure why I left it OFF back
when I first configured it.

Thanks for your post. I will turn it ON and see how it goes.
