It will scan Outlook. There is a connector in the server console for Scanmail 
and an Exchange version of the SMB but we found that it is just easier to have 
the separate Scanmail console for the price they wanted to upgrade our SMB 
version it wasn't worth it.  If you are buying it outright as a first time 
solution and use exchange buy the exchange verstion.

I've got over 1200 desktops and 80 servers across a large WAN deployment, so I 
was recommended to Client/Server/Messaging Suite Enterprise.  How does the SMB 
product differ? 

 

It doesn't appear that on the e-mail side it does anything but scan POP3 
traffic, so I'd need the ScanMail product separately. 

is the desktop/server the same as OfficeScan (which is part of the Enterprise 
suite?

You want the Trend SMB Suite.  This is a wonderful product that allows 
management of clients remotely via a web console on both clients and servers. 
Download the demo and try it out. There is an Exchange version also that we 
have been using for years and have been virus free thanks to it.  The fact that 
it is about half to 2/3rds of the price of Mcaffee and works better without 
causing a lot of cpu resources (unless it is doing a full scan that is but all 
have that problem) gives it an A+ in my book.

Never tried Trend, we've always used McAfee and they've been fine
since, well, forever!

It meets all your requirements, Groupshield works fine for virus
scanning, but we don't use its antispam side of things.. We use
Protection Pilot instead of the ePolicy Orchestrator, as we're a small
shop, and it does all the same things, just easier :)

I know some people like Sophos too, but never had a look at that
either, could be so mething else for you to look at.
