sandy,
Technical is essentially correct. If you are using your computer as a “server”, then all email is stored on the
“server side” but not read!
Until the mail is actually read by an email client such as OE or MS Outlook, Eudora and such, Avast does not scan the email since it has not been sent to the “internal server” at 127.0.0.1.
When you “ask” the email to be downloaded, it is sent to address 127.0.0.1 so that Avast can take a peek at it.
The “scan” lines will be added at that time.
Hope this clears things up a bit.
