If I understand correctly, what happened is that when The Bat attempts to download e-mail, it is first downloaded to the Temp directory. If the message has a virus, then my AV software (My eTrust by Computer Associates) will prevent the e-mail from going into a mail folder. (Assuming, of course, that the signature files for the AV software recognize the virus.) However, the virus-laden message still remains on the server because The Bat would only direct the server to delete the message AFTER the message finds its way into a Bat folder. Because the message was only able to go as far as the Temp subdirectory, The Bat did not instruct the server to delete the offending e-mail. Is this correct. Based on this, and not being familiar with "mail despactcher" I assumed that I needed to delete a virus-laden message off of the server. So, using webmail, I went out to the server using my web browser and deleted two suspicious messages, both of which had attachments. How do I delete the message on the server using TB's mail despatcher. And, just exactly, what IS TB's mail despatcher (dispatcher?) It would appear that these files are in the Temp subdirectory. Ahhh, but your note gave me an idea. I turned off AV just long enough to highlight and delete the bat*.tmp files. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
