Does the MSU e-mail anti-virus check cover e-mail originating from > msu.edu accounts? Yes. and no. But before I get to that, it is important to note that we had a problem with our virus scanning software, which in effect did not catch the MyDoom.2-M on the vast majority of the e-mail front ends until just a few minutes ago. At the current rate, we will block well over one million of these virii today. But back to your original question; yes the virus check is run against *all* e-mail sent via SMTP regardless of sender, recipient, etc. The "no" part of the answer is that webmail does not use SMTP. This means that if a user sends a message via webmail, it is not scanned. We are looking into solutions for dealing with this problem. ./matt -- m. kolb <[log in to unmask]>
