I use IMail/Declude to do my filtering before going to Exchange 2000 (gateway filtering). Works great, great support, very very inexpensive.
Any questions? Let me know if I can be of more assistance. www.ipswitch.com www.declude.com Samantha -----Original Message----- From: John Strongosky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 11:16 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: smtp virus/spam/filter ?

Hi, I'm looking into a smtp filter to put in front of our ex55+scanmail382. I'm evaluating Trend Interscan Messaging Security Suite, but it seems not configurable as I'd like on several parts. For example, the retry time for deferred delivery seem limited to 99 hours, enough for usual operation, but what about a disaster recovery gone bad (no or bad connectivity for some time) ? On the other hand, regarding the notifications I seems to have a choice of don't attach message/attach modified message/original message. This means I have to attach the (possibly big) message to the notification in order to have some info on the message - with scanmail you can insert markers in the notification text regarding original subject and so on. A direct link to a web page in the quarantine area for that message would be usefull, too, with password check obviously. Or a messageid to paste in the quarantine area page for direct access to the message. The attachment mimetype/extension filters can only quarantine the message or strip the attachment, but it can't strip and quarantine the attachment while delivering the message, which means it is almost useless for our environment. Scanmail can do that but has the problem it will run before the virus check - which means if I filter all PIF and EXE (for example) by policy it will always strip them and deliver the message, without ever triggering the "delete mass mail virus emails" rule. Any suggestions for other products you are particulary satisfied with (or you advise to avoid) ? Either something in the same or better league, or something less expensive (that would be the <simple but cheap input filter, main work still done by scanmail). Either way we would keep the double filters (scanmail will stay), possibly having the smtp filter using a different engine could be a plus. In case it matters, usage is about 350MB-4000 mails/day.
