I think the issue is that webaccess users, when they send email
"outbound", it by-passes the POA, so that POA AV scanning is not
performed against those messages.

I'm pretty sure they are still routed to the GWIA via the MTA though
... so if GWAVA does MTA scanning, they would be gotten there. Does it
do MTA scanning?

Perhaps Charles can enlighten us more on just why we might need a
"wasp"-like product?
