I agree Cameron. We use ASSP for our company mail, and it has been excellent. It is low maintenance, low false positives once the machines has completed it's learning cycle. It calls Clamwin easily enough, but your usage of McAfee's SMTP webshield is a good idea. It's part of our AV package, but I never thought of using it that way.

It can sometimes be a pain when people get false rejections, we have had about 3 people write to the unmonitored address to be manually added to the whitelist. But on the whole it works nicely. Our setup is ASSP -> McAffee Webshield SMTP (application not appliance) -> IMail So we are not using any of the IMail anti-spam or anti-virus stuff, but our stats show we have been running it for 552 days with 36.2% of our incoming mail blocked as spam. The ASSP has also stopped 29172 virii mails before the McAffee even had to scan them and the only thing the McAffee stops these days is zip files which get held in quarantine and released if they are legitimate. There have been some instances where people with laptops have been inside our network and been blocked from relaying to the outside world because they are seen by ASSP as attaching to the public address of the mail server rather than the internal one, but apart from that it seems to work well with ~120 addresses and 11 domains (not huge I know). -- Regards Cameron Biggart IT Manager Yaffa Publishing (02) 9281 2333 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
