Hi Carl

I stand corrected. I do apologise. Please find the manual for AVG 7.1 for
Exchange 2000/2003. This is part of the AVG for Email servers suite as detailed
in the manual available the Grisoft web site at
http://download.grisoft.cz/softw/70/filedir/doc/AVG_Email_Server/AVG_MS_Exchange2K/User_manual/avg_e2k_uma_en_71_1.pdf

One thing I do note though is that it appear to have no spam filtering options?

Once again please accept my apologies for my mistake.

Regards,

Paul Lemonidis.

You're not looking at the correct product page. And they don't call it "AVG
for Exchange". It's "AVG for Mail Servers".

You have to read the FAQ to find written proof that they plug into the AV API
provided by MS for Exchange:

AVG for MS Exchange 2000/2003
04203 Is it possible to delete the whole messages which are detected as
infected?
Unfortunately this option is only available in MS Exchange Server 2003, where
Microsoft Virus API 2.5 support has been implemented. The setting is available
in the Microsoft Exchange System Manager.

The scanning of emails in MS Exchange 2000 is done by the Virus Scanning API
2.0, which is used for email scanning by many Antivirus systems.

In the case of VSAPI2.0 is the email scanned part by part (there isn't
another solution in MS Exchange - to be exact the API doesn't support that).
This is the reason why the whole message can't be deleted or moved.

Hi all

They might call it AVG for Exchange but it is not a proper Exchange database
virus scanning application. In other words it cannot scan inside the actual
Exchange database. Check their web site. It only scans Exchange accounts
through Outlook at the desktop. Have a look at Sybari Antigen or Trend
ScanMail. The quotes below are directly off their web site.

Certifies mail as virus free (except MS Exchange Server 2000/2003).

a.. AVG E-mail Scanner (EMS)
E-mail checking is supported either directly by plug-ins for certain
applications (Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, The Bat!) or by Personal E-mail
scanner - AVG EMS works at POP3 and SMTP protocol level. EMS can also protect
e-mail communication of all other E-mail clients (for example Outlook Express).
Each E-mail client plug-in can be individually configured to have its own
testing configuration including the language definition for certification
texts.

a.. With AVG EMS, it is possible to filter attachments by their extensions
or by their content
b.. The solution at POP3/SMTP protocol level is independent of the E-mail
client used
c.. It is possible to protect multiple e-mail accounts and to check
multiple e-mail servers
d.. SMTP authentication is supported
Regards,

Paul Lemonidis.

Hello:

Is anyone running AVG for Exchange? If so, how do you like it? Anything to
look out for? Compared to Symantec?

Any thoughts welcome.
