This will make more sense if you explain that you are clicking on a webmail page from Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail. Internal webmail servers can be integrated with internal smtp servers and filters. The problem is not webmail - the problem is any content that is not scanned that user's can browse or download. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
