Does nobody do any research anymore?
All your questions can be answered by going to symantec.com or simply typing symantec into google.

What's "Symantec Email Proxy"?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've never seen this before. I've had Norton Internet Security for almost a year. I downloaded my email (Eudora) and instead of the email I saw
Quote:
From: Symantec Email Proxy
Subject: Symantec Email Proxy Deleted Message
Symantec Email Proxy deleted the following email message:
From:
To:
Subject:
That's it!
Fortunately I'd previewd the email on the server (I always do before downloading anything) so knew it wasn't important. It was one I forwaded to myself from my Yahoo account.
Answer:
The proxy sits inbetween your email client and the mail server, so that it intercepts your email as you check and send it, so that it can check them for viruses.
So when you check mail, your email client checks the proxy, the proxy then checks the email server on your behalf, scans for viruses, and then forwards the mail to the email client (minus the virus if one was found).
Symantec has been doing this for many years.
Asker:
Well, I found the Norton setting that turns this off, I hope. What annoyed me about the incident is that Norton deleted the email without my seeing it (except when I previewed it on the server), and it obviosuly made a mistake because I know the email was legit.
When I forwarded it from Yahoo it forwarded as an attachment so Norton must have assumed the attachment wasn't safe. It was just text.

Is that symantac or symantec?
If that is symantec, it is related to Norton Anti Virus.

That's part of Norton virus protection.

It is part of a anti virus package, you must have installed it at some point.
