If their TVD package includes WebShield SMTP, you can use that with IMail. Although,
you may have some difficulties getting it so that you don't offer free mail services
to spammers (open relay). If all of your users always come from the same range of IP
addresses, there will be no problem.
If it doesn't include WebShield SMTP, or if WebShield SMTP doesn't do what you need,
our Declude Virus program will work with the command line scanner that comes with
McAfee.
> Where did you find the information on how to integrate it?
Their WebShield SMTP works with any mail server (since they wrote their own mail
server that they use, that passes the mail on to another one).

IMail may have some Knowledge Base articles to help out, but you don't need to do
anything specific on the IMail end. If you are running both on the same computer, you
just need to tell IMail to listen to a different port (IE 2525). If they are on
different machines, then you just need to change the DNS entries.
Also, make VERY sure that for every domain that WebShield SMTP knows about, there is a
corresponding entry with the same domain name followed by a period. For example, if
you have "domain.com" be sure to also add "domain.com.". Otherwise, there is a nasty
denial of service attack that can hit you (on purpose or accidentally).
