You've just "got away with it" before. That's all there is to it.
This is well known and frequently observed behaviour for many of the
less capable AV utilities. Clearly your Symantec has become more
aggressive and is refusing to allow TB to even create a temporary
copy of the infected message. This stops TB receiving it and
therefore from deleting it from the server.

YT> I've gone back to letting Symantec run real time.

<hangs head> Oh dear.

It won't be the last.

That makes no sense. Clearly Symantec has switched itself into an
aggressive AV stance that *will* impede you again. Like I say, it
has done this to others before. Why should you now be immune again?

YT> I've woken up to better Sunday morning beginnings.  ^^_^^

I'm sure! I have oft ranted against NAV. I don't know much about
Symantec Corp AV, but it's sounding pretty similar from where I'm
sat.
