We use it on our DMZ smtp box along with Interscan. It works great and we get about 1 or 2 false positives a day. My only gripe with the product is that there is no "remote" way to release a quaratined mail, like a central console or something. I have to VNC into the server that has it, sift through the log and then release it. A central web-console were I could manage all my e-manager boxes would be nice . . .
