Bill, Now I understand the "Webshield[1] Lite" comment. I got the same spiel from them as well wanting me to go to the e500 web appliance. The one thing that I saw that it did offer that the WebshieldSMTP product did not offer was that it could scan webmail based mail such as Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.
As for the traffic from your Groupwise associate, does it come in through the IMS or via a different connector? If it doesn't come in via the IMS Webshield will not see it. I also see what you mean by embedded attachments. I guess I don't have that problem since I block .eml and .msg attachments. The WAV files should be getting blocked. I have not been finding that any are getting by. [1] Chris Scharff may be right about NAI after all. When I did a spell check on Webshield it suggested "Weaseled".

AV software(s) Q' int/ext blk/no blk attachments Ok....Ive been running the webshield for about a year or so now, got the patch in too. so for instance "My better half" (the less eval half) is on a Groupwise system. If she sends me an attachment or better if she forwards me something that has an attachment. It will get through. A call I made to NAI basically was confirmed on this and some other talked which to me indicted confirmation that WS is very light weight (it works, I like it, I know how far I can trust it, it's better then nothing). WS does not scan into nested attachments in the GW case I would see her forward, the attachment would be in a msg format that I could open and then see the orginal attachment which could be anything! Lot's of other things get by due to this. I se a lot of WAV files get nabbed at the GS451 on the exch box cuz WS missed it. Now the GS451 on the exch box get's it, but due to the fact that it was nested attachment WS missed it. I beat up the phone tech pretty good on this. And What I feel I got was..well..if you need something better..... You should use our Webshield Appliance..... OK well that was my answer from them..ok...I get it... bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 12:40 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: gen. AV software(s) Q' int/ext blk/no blk attachments Really, I just sent a test to mine and it blocked it. An email for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (CC to '_') from <powellk> with the subject line Link Test has broken a Content Filter rule. The email has been blocked.(from user SYSTEM running WebShield 4.5 MR1a '_') I am not sure what you mean by the FULL version. If you have TVD, Total Virus Defense suite or AVD, Active Virus Defense suite you have a full no holds barred product. My filter is simply blocking *.lnk attachments. Also, I do not know what you mean by "nested" attachments.

AV software(s) Q' int/ext blk/no blk attachments Thx I talked to NAI the other day about this and GS451 will not do it. They said the GS5 will not either. Yes I too run the websheild(included with TVD..I have no idea about the full version) on a box prior to my exch55 server. But it misses a lot of attachments. It is not capable of scan nested attachments etc. OK on the virus.. poor on attachment blocking. I was just hoping maybe someone out there was do somethign similar with another product. As I am up on my contract with NAI...and am unsure if I will stay with it. thx bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 12:16 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: gen. AV software(s) Q' int/ext blk/no blk attachments I am not sure that 4.51 will do this. Groupshield 5.0 may, I will have to check. We currently use Webshield to handle the blocking of the internal attachments much as David Cook said that he does with MailMarshal. It appears that this may be yet another case of how woefully inadequate Groupshield is when compared to anything else.

AV software(s) Q' int/ext blk/no blk attachments Can anyone tell me if any of the AV software(s) used by any of you for Exchange have the ability to selectively allow attachments in the system In other words I want internal people to be able to send LNK's(links) for things for the internal network. BUT I do not want any incoming e-mail via IMS w/attachments with say LNK to make it in. Ex. Ive got GS451 on Exch55sp4 and it's set to block all LNK attachments. Unfortunately it blocks them internally also; and it's a bit of a pain when I want to e-mail a new Link to my users. NAI as no way to mod GS451 to allow selective internal/external blocking type stuff. Looks like GS451 goes into the IS and not say just interacting with the IMS. any ideas would be appreciated FYI: Exch55sp4 on NT4sp6a Hey..You in the back row.... stop laughing at the GS451...it finally works "normally" after 6 call's to tech support ;-) thx bill _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
