Problems with NIS 17.6.0.32: eudora e-mail and scanning of certain folders

I recently had to re-instal NIS because NIS was no longer running at startup (or, on demand for that matter).  I noticed a couple of differences that may cause me problems, and I would like to know if there is a solution.

 

1)  The anti-spam feature does not seem to include the Eudora e-mail program.  Is there a way to scan the incoming and outgoing Eudora e-mail for viruses?   Is that filtering still being done by having NIS run its own POP and SMTP servers?

 

2)  I would like to do a custom scan particular folders in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data.   The directory tree that appears after I click on Folder Scan does not include C: .  Is there a way to include an arbitrary folder not in My Documents or Desktop in a custom scan?

 

Thanks

Answer: Yup. Currently, the Antispam is not supported in Eudora. The email scanning feature in NIS should take care of it. I remember a volunteer posting sometime back that it supports all the PoP3 and SMTP through ports 110 and 25.

I think it should be possible. Can you post us a screenshot.
