Rosario & Jen, I use Trend Micro's VirusWall on Solaris 2.6 and am very happy with the product. I am currently not using the CVP server so I cannot say how well that works but the SMTP server pipes all incoming mail to our internal mail server and scans as the attachments come through. VirusWall sends an email stating what action was taken (cleaned or moved) everytime a virus is found - quite nice. I do not scan outgoing mail since we have virus scanners also installed on our internal PCs and mail server. Pattern files are updated once a week and you can setup VirusWall to retrieve the newest pattern file automatically - configuration through a web interface. During the latest round of virus scares I even receive email sent to me informing me that the pattern files have been updated more often than the typical weekly update - nice service. VirusWall also intergrates with proxy servers (I use Netscape Proxy server for Solaris) to scan while web surfing - downside is that the proxy must download the _entire_ file before the file can be scanned and then the file is pushed to the client web brower.
