While AV scanning may be done during the session, it would also require
additional steps to also contain _all_ upstream activity within the same session as well, when attempting to achieve an apparent point-to-point operation. If SMTP were point-to-point, this would be evolving into the IM model where the message queue or storage would always be at the sender. Such mode of operation will increase the average transaction time needed for email.<< You know, the problem we are trying to solve is virus notification blowback, etc. So instead of changing the system why not work with it. If everyone would just standardize on at least the first part of every virus notification being the same thing, say: XXX VIRUS NOTIFICATION: blah blah blah where XXX is some error number, we could all easily control virus notifications at the receiving end, allowing or blocking, as the recipients choice. A simple standard message format and all the problems and complaints go away. George Roettger Netlink Services
