I've deployed several Barracuda appliances and they are by far the best
front line solution I've seen yet. It does not replace the need for AV on
the Exchange server but dramatically lightens the load on the Exchange
server. The SPAM filtering is top notch too and the appliance is
inexpensive.

Subject: [THIN] OT: Exchange AV scanner of choice
Little different then the usual AV product of choose question, I'm looking
for Exchange specific recommendations.
I'm using Symantec Mail Security 4.5 and it's starting to give me problems
that appear to be load related. My servers have plenty of power, but I
think the AV engine is choking on the massive influx of mass mailing worm
e-mails I've gotten recently. I see 2-5k a day now and it's causing
services to crash. When they restart, they don't work.
I've tested products about 8 months back, but need new recommendations. I
remember liking AntiGen (Expensive) and Trend, but not liking McAffee
because the UI was non-intuitive and slow (java).
