We use Mailsweeper from Content Technology www.mimesweeper.com . IT does
Content checking as well as Virus you just choose the Virus app you want.
It work very nicely. The cost for 250 users is 5K plus we chose Sophos
Antivirus www.sophos.com we chose them because they have a DLL based virus
scanner that works with Mailsweeper and other sas well. No over head, no
command lines and it is at least 10times faster than any other virus scanner
out there because it is DLL based. The cost for sophos was around 1.5k
with 3 years of Maintenance. Check them out.
It is all based on the number of users you have.
