To follow-up the virus discussion... Can anyone explain how
anti-virus apps (Symantec, McAfee, BitDefender, etc) do or do not
scan IMAP email. I realize that IMAP keeps the messages on the
server and only headers are downloaded. But what about
attachments and saving a message to a local folder? Do those
files only get scanned when you do a system scan or do they get
scanned when saved? Symantec and the others only claim to scan
POP email - do they mean real-time only?
I have procmail set up to scan incoming messages before they get
delivered to the INBOX, same thing with spamassassin.
# Calls the clamAV scanner

You are doing this on the server, right? SpamAssasin is run on my server, but that is all. I want to catch viruses on that main Windows machien I use to access this email account. So again, to what degree does Symantec, McAfee, BitDefender anti-virus scan messages and attachments with IMAP (using Thunderbird but I don't think that matters)?
Thanks,
