Its pretty simple. First, make sure you have Norton AV e-mail scanning
set for "Enable Manual Configuration"
(Options-Internet-EmailProtection-Advanced). This enables a local
POP proxy service on your machine.
Then, in your account settings, (under transport) set the Receive Mail
mail server to "Pop3.norton.antivirus" (There should be a mapping in
your local hosts file for this, it was created by enabling manual
configuration above).
Lastly, change your Receive Mail User Name (on the transport tab) from
"<username>" to "<username>/<your real POP3 server FQDN or IP>".
I use this setup, and it works well enough. My only complaint is that
Norton is dead slow with updates. My corporate InterScan installation
was detecting all those VBS attachments yesterday, but Norton only
released an update for this today ... But that is not really related
to the bat, so 'nuff said about that ...
Best Regards,
Mike
