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.

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

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.
