I have to deal every single day with people who have lost their messages
because their antivirus software messed up their message store.

If you had heard some of the genuinely sad stories from people who lose
thousands of messages then maybe you'd understand the situation with OE.

I hear you Jim, and I know where you're coming from. But, I could show you
articles saying the exact opposite, MS articles too, and many others.
Problems with scanning incoming emails are actually not problems with the
scanner per sae but are actually problems existing elsewhere.
I guess what I object to is a blanket "don't scan" incoming. The
majority of mahcines will handle it fine, and it's a much earlier step in
the process to catch something like that.

No problem; I won't belabor the point. Just differing opinions, IMO.

Antivirus scanning of incoming email has led to hundreds of users having
problems, all of which have been resolved by disabling the scanning, or
removing the offending antivirus product. Your opinion of what is
necessary for you does not apply to everyone. For more information about
the subject, you might want to try reading the following section of an
article about the issue (approved by Microsoft for publication):

I have to respectfully disagree somewhat, although that may be what needs
to be done if the XP doesn't have the SP's installed. In which case,
there are other, much more glaring holes in the OS, so NBD I guess.

Turning OFF Outgoing scanning makes sense very often, especially with
long mails or attachments. But INcoming virus scans should not be
turned off, IMO, and I haven't yet found an updated properly installed
XP system have any problems with incoming mail scanning. If one does
discover that turning them off helps a particular circumstance, they
should still be turned back on unless/until it's verified that's the
ONLY way to retrieve the mail in question. Personally, I'd be off
looking for malware in such a case.

Some will say it's OK to turn off incoming scans because the av sw
will catch it anyway later on, but that's not true with some of the
stuff out there today; if it can get onto the hard drive, it can hide
and activate and get under the radar to to speak because it morphs into
something else unbeknownst to the os.

Just my two cents, and a chance to voice an opposing view, that's all.
I was unaware of such morphing until recently but there are a couple of
strains that aren't detected due to it by the time they reach the hard
drive, and can then execute. Unfortunately, I cannot cite references: I
can't find the danged things anymore. If I can locate them, I'll come
back and post them.

Regards,

Pop

Turn off the e-mail scanning in your anti-virus.

You are still protected:

If you have an Anti-Spam program, that can also be the cause of the
