We have 3 1/2 layers: 1- custom smap based linux box with spam filtering, attachment blocking, and some custom blocking of known bad stuff (this one is the 1/2 since it doesn't really scan for known viruses, just virus like emails)
2- Symantec Antivirus for SMTP Gateways: This is a separate machine that processes all inbound mail for our exchange server. 3- Symantec Antivirus for Exchange: Runs on the exchange server and scans everything (not just inbound from the internet). 4- Symantec Client Antivirus: All clients have this installed and if 1,2 and 3 fail this may save us.

I was curious how many have 3 layers of protection for their email systems. My current assignment has me at a place where they are comfortable with desktop and a set of SMTP servers doing virus and spam. Desktop is Symantec and Trend on the SMTP servers. My gut feeling is to also protect the IS stores too. How many have 3 levels. _________________________________________________________________ <b>Get MSN 8</b> and help protect your children with advanced parental controls. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/parental _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
