AFAIK you cannot force all Exchange IM traffic going through the Exchange IM Virtual Server. The IM Virtual Server actually is hosting a node database only which holds the presence information of who's online/away etc.
As soon as you are issuing a new chat session the IM Virtual Server receives a request to tell you which peer you want to connect with, passes this info back to you client and let you guys chat with each other. You can write your own application to hook into this process. It would be a C/C++ or Delphi coded app building an ISAPI filter. You might have luck with an application offered by http://www.presenceworks.com. I know they were developing some kind of IM integration last year, though I never tried their stuff. <Siegfried /> > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan Beeler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 11:03 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: Instant Messaging anti-virus programs > > Does anyone know of any instant messaging server side anti-virus programs > for Exchange 2000?
