Well Dana,
First question I would ask is.
1. Is your mailserver Unix or NT. ?
2. If its Unix, Are you using Sendmail ?
3. If its Unix you can get a freeware version of Amavis ( A freeware Email
Virus Scanner ) for Unix or Linux.
You would still have to get Anti-Virus Software for Unix. Like McAfee,
Sophos or AVP. but Amavis will call the AntiVirus software on each mail it
trys to deliver. then scan the email and attachments..
It will also send an email to the sender, recipient and the administrator
of the Mail Server of a virus if it finds one...
Thanks
Vic

Subject: [security:01591] Email scanner
I'm looking for a centralized email anti-virus scanner for a small company
( <50 people ). And before you ask, no they were not hit by the latest
spate of vbs stuff, but it did help accelerate the project :). I've
tripped across mailsweeper, Trend's viruswall, and Norton AV, any comments
good or bad? Anyone know of a better/cheaper product?
>From a requirements standpoint: current mail system uses SMTP/POP3,
either
UNIX or NT for scanner is OK, company has 30-40 bodies but many more email
addresses, wants virus scanning of inbound and outbound mail (including
VBS), not terribly interested in CONTENT scanning of mail. Current
solution is several custom hacks and scripts that need replacement by
commercial software to hopefully reduce maintenance.
Please respond off-line and I'll summarize to the list.
