While gateway scanning is great, you would be much better off with something on the Exchange server itself. Here is one scenario as to why. User logs into Hotmail and downloads a virus and the desktop AV doesn't catch it. It grabs the list from the GAL and hammers the mail server. You are now fully infected.
I would definitely look at something for the Exchange server as a primary, gateway is secondary. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Fennema [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 6:49 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Virus/Spam filtering I have been given the task of finding and evaluating a SMTP Virus/Spam filter for our company. What products do you recommend? We are running one exchange server with about 700 mailboxes. We want to go gateway scanning so that the scanner is not residing on the exchange server. The two products we have been looking at in particular are Interscan Virus wall suite by Trend Micro and MailMarshall by Marshall software. Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated.
