Hi Tom,
You are right, as always :) 
Yes, the OWA traffic is HTTP from FE - BE, where as RPC over HTTP is
not. So OWA traffic will not be scanned by VAPI as it passes through the
FE. 
I need to start reading again...

Hi Raj,

Are you sure about this? I thought with a FE Exchange Server it worked
like this:

Client
   |
   |_(encrypted HTTP (SSL)
   |
ISA firewall (SSL to SSL bridging)
   |
   |_(encrypted HTTP (SSL)
   |
FE Exchange
   |
   |_HTTP
   |
BE Exchange mailboxes

While you're describing is more like RPC over HTTP, or SMTP over HTTP.

Thanks!

Hi Tom,
From the FE to BE the traffic is SMTP/RPC, and Exchange uses its SMTP
engine to route the traffic between the FE and BE. So a VAPI compliant
AV scanner in a FE server will still scan the content as it passes
through the FE routing engine. SSL bridging is between Client-ISA-FE
only. The FE-BE traffic is not SSL encrypted.

Hi Raj,

Does the scanning work on the FE server? The e-mail messages are still
HTTP encapsulated at that point.

Thanks!

Arjan,
I don't think it makes practical sense to scan OWA traffic for virus as
it is usually encrypted SSL. However, if you are worried about email
viruses, then you should implement an Exchange specific antivirus
software in your front end and back end servers. We use McAfe
Groupshiled 5.2, and has been very successful.

http://www.ISAserver.org

I wanted to use a ISA 2004 server for publishing OWA, but i need some
kind of virus scanning, i'm using TrendMicro IWSS for http trafic on an
other server, which service needs to listen for traffic, the iwss
service, or the isa service ?
 
If the isa service need to listen, the traffic need to go through the
iwss service, and after that to the front-end servers.
 
Can someone explains me how to make it possible, if it is possible, or
mayby some other solution.
 
Regards,
 
Arjan
