Thanks everyone for your input. What we're actually doing is installing Ciphertrust's IronMail. I don't have much documentation on it yet but it is supposed to be able to integrate one of the following antivirus technologies -- Sophos, McAfee, Norton, and TrendMicro. When I posted my question, I only knew that we could choose between Sophos and McAfee. I found out about the latter two from a PCMag review. This would be for our first line of defense. We don't use Exchange to communicate with foreign SMTP servers (Internet) but we do incorporate Trend's ScanMail for E2K. I haven't used McAfee in 7 years and Sophos is a complete unknown for me. So, your thoughts are welcome! So, if this is too far off the beaten path, I understand. IronMail isn't Exchange-related but it should help keep a ton of spam out of my Exchange stores. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: Cresswell, Charles [mailto:charlesc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 3:56 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Antivirus http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have been using McAffee GroupShield for a long time, both on 5.5 and 2000, and it has always worked very well. The EX2000 version has a nice MMC snap-in that makes it very easy to configure. One problem I have found though is its compatibility with anti-spam software for EX2000. GFI support have confirmed to me that it is not compatible with MailEssentials, and another anti-spam product I looked at was not listing GS as compatible. As far as I can see McAfee do not have an anti-spam product for EX2000 in their product range currently. Obviously you are only looking at exchange plug-ins and not windows server AV products? As you cannot run the latter on an exchange server. regards charles -----Original Message----- From: Edwards, Dan [mailto:Daniel.Edwards@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 5:04 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Antivirus http://www.MSExchange.org/ We're looking at some antivirus products. We now need to choose between McAfee and Sophos. This may be too off-topic but it is in regard to scanning e-mail.
