While I cannot speak of Exchange 2007, I have seen other email server
vendors go one of 2 routes, either develop their own add in (usually less
effective) or integrate with an OEM version of a 3rd party vendors product.
IMHO, you will be better off using a 3rd party product. Now saying that, MS
has taken a number of steps in the last couple of years to become a
qualified competitor for security products, mostly by buying 3rd party
vendors.
See the pattern here.

Subject: [ExchangeList] Exchange 2007?
Hello Exchange "Gurus,"
Our company is in the process of upgrading our Exchange Server from ver. 5.5
to the "latest and greatest." Do any of you see a real need to choose
Exchange Server 2007, instead of Exchange Server 2003? Our company is very
small (25 mailboxes max) and doesn't require a lot of the "bells and
whistles" which come with the "latest and greatest." However, I did notice
that ver. 2007 offers Anti-Spam as well as Anti-Virus solutions compared to
ver. 2003. For those who are running 2007, are the Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus
solutions good enough NOT to install a 3rd party Anti-Virus / Anit-Spam
solution? I have a current support contract with GFI Mail Essentials. How
does Exchange 2007's Anti-Spam solution compare with GFI Mail Essentials
ver. 12?
Thanks for any input!
