Make absolutely sure that you are not scanning e-mail, incoming or
outgoing.

Most of my outgoing mail on my virgin.net account is being tagged as
SPAM
when I send it through Outlook Express. This means that most of my
mail
never gets through, and the rest often gets deleted. It started
happening
immediately after the servcie pack 3 upgrade. Can anyone help me to
fix
this?
Thanks for this - Virgin told me it was Microsoft's fault!! I will
look at McAfee. Many thanks
OK I looked at MacAfee and the email scan was on. I switched it off and
tried again, but the emails still do not get through to recipients. How
can
you have an antivirus without having an enabled scan ? Anyway, I tried
everything I could and it is still not getting through. I sent an email
to
myself from another account and it sad that my virgin server was blocked.
Virgin says it has something to do with the SP3 upgrade - that it was
released too early. I am not really concerned with whose fault it is, I
just
want my emails to get through. Has anyone got another suggestion?
Virgin is full of it. Nothing from MS is marking your mail as spam.
Do you have PCGuard from Virgin?

As far as e-mail scanning, you may have to remove McAfee and reinstall in
custom mode, opting out of e-mail scanning when you see the choice. Often
just disabling it is not enough.
Turning off e-mail scanning is safe. See:

And this is from Symantec, but applies to all anti-virus programs.

Is my computer still protected against viruses if I disable Email Scanning?
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.
