NORMAN used in this manner is really pretty good.  I have version 5.4.43 I
guess it is now.  If you don't work through the server version it is not so
expensive.  The Single User renewal for me is $80 USA for TWO years, which
I just paid in.  No, if you try this as a server deal in an .ORG or a .COM
setting, they will want a lot more than that for the service.  But as a
single user front end filter, that's not too bad as I saw it.


Version 5.4 upward can be called as a command line operation and will proof
whatever directory you ask of it from a batch file technique.  I'm using it
on my connect box to the IP service for my email at present in just such a
command line exit in Post Road Mailer.  I use a three way exit scan to
check first the raw accepted .POP, then the way it winds up as MIME and
finally a third time as it segregates out the attachments archives or
whatever.

Other than being unable to handle an occaisional malformed archive, so far
it has gotten everything that has come this way. I thing about thirty
gibe.E incursions in the last two weeks alone.

They do have bugs on this or that.  But they are working closely with me
for what I've found and turned in.  This whole virus issue is not at all as
simple as some might conjecture.
