Perhaps a combination of gateway scanning, nightly mailbox scans and realtime desktop AV would be sufficient. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Clishe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 04 July 2003 15:45 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: best linux av? > > > Do you really think that the *ONLY* possible way a virus can > get into your Exchange environment is through your SMTP gateway? > > Let's say a user uses Outlook to POP an email from their > personal account into their Exchange mailbox, and that email > is infected.
