Oh well, if it is so, then I take my words back. Declude sounds like a good
solution to me, with two exceptions:
1. It requires McAfee desktop version of antivirus. This is different from
SMTP. While I have never seen SMTP version of McAfee crash, I observed may
times how McAfee desktop version would bring the system to a halt. One time
it is corrupted service, next time Mcafee programmers issued a buggy DAT....
I really don't want to see my server crash, for my job will crash with it.
2. While Imail-McAfee is just 2 unit chain, Declude adds one more, so now
you have three possible points of failure instead of two.
All the rest sounds good. If I knew this before buying McAfee Webshield, I'd
seriously consider such option with Declude.
thank you
