491.0. "ntsweep and option -MI" by FELIKS::paracchi1.mln.dec.com::paracchi (Roberto @MLN 793-8228) Fri Mar 21 1997 11:51

	Hello all.

	My pc ( celebris gl 5166) run WNT 4.0 sp2, Office97, Microsoft Outlook.

	I have installed NTSWEEP  Version 2.94 ( not GUI interface ) and 
	I'm not able to send the result by mail with the option "-MI"
	
	Here is the commands i try :

	ntsweep -F -A -P=C:\Ntsweep\result.log -MI=paracchi@feliks.mln.dec.com

	and this is icon error:

	Microsoft exchange
	The profile name is not valid. Enter a valid profile name	
	OK/CANCEL
	
	clik on the OK another icon ask me CHOOSE PROFILE.
	Click on OK because the default profile selected was the same I used
	in Exchange... and the mail was not sent.

	The error is:

C:\NTSWEEP>ntsweep -F -A -P=C:\Ntsweep\result.log -MI=paracchi@feliks.mln.dec.com

	The other command i had used was:

ntsweep -F -A -P=C:\Ntsweep\result.log -MI=paracchi,password ( exchange login..)
 
	but this start the exchange login that ask me the password,
	and after enter the password the follow error popup:

	the log file "c:\winnt\imail.log" could not be opened. logging will be 		
turned off.


	This is the syntax from the ntsweep help :

	-MI=[<account>,<password>] mail results


	Does anybody run sweep with this option or have some advice ?
	

	Tks. Roberto.


	




	

Hello Roberto,

The -MI switch is used to interface with Microsoft Mail.  I 
don't believe it will work with MS Exchange/Outlook.  May 
I suggest installing the GUI version?  It allows the use of 
SMTP mail and MS Exchange mail to send virus reports.

Regards,
Arthur

	GREAT!

	The GUI version "SWEEP Virus detection utility version 2.95"
	send me mail report via SMTP setup .

	Many TKS 

	Ciao Roberto.
