Generally it is good practice to have all the AV and anti-spam controlled at the point of entry to your system, using a client AV package assumes it has already made it into the Store. So the bottom line is, they really do the same thing but its easier to manage a central mail scan policy as opposed to having each client manage their mail scan.

Is it really necessary? What will it stop that the client AV's won't stop? -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Kelli Irwin [mailto:kirwin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 7:57 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Antivirus http://www.MSExchange.org/ We use Sybari's Antigen for Exchange with multiple AntiVirus engines.
