Yes, filters are easier in Webshiled, plus
Webshield has realtime e-mail counters so it is easy to monitor.
However, automatic updades are also available in
McAfee desktop version that you would use should you decide to buy
Declude.
For me Webshiels presents at least two drawbacks as
compared to Declude-McAfee:
1. It is not possible to implement SMTP
authentication. Ipswitch has it, but Webshield doesn't. Therefore, antispam
defence of mail server is somewhat impaired.
2. Scanning is much more reliable with desktop
McAfee than with Webshield. Just a couple of weeks ago we had severe
contamination with Anna Kurnikiva's virus. Webshield with latest DAT's would let
it in, whereas desktop version of Mcafee (and McAfee+Declude) seemed to have no
problems catching and eradicating this virus. I had to call McAfee and they
aknowledged a bug in Webshield, that they quickly repaired, but damage has been
already done.

What
you say concerning it taking over SMTP is true, but for a corporate
server WebShield also has some advantages. Setting up filters is
much easier than in Imail. Updates are automatic and transparent once
configured. Would I be using it if I didn't have TVD? Probably not
due to the cost. Since I have it as part of TVD it's a no brainer for
me.

From my experience with Webshield I'd rather
recommend Declude :)
Webshield works, but it is far from perfect,
plus you won't be able to use SMTP fetures of Ipswitch, because SMTP will be
retaken by Webshield.
thanks

Actually, we are running NAI's TVD Groupshield, which runs on your
Exchange server as an integrated NT service. I guess by the two
responses, I should be looking at NAI's TVD Webshield product as the
anti-virus solution to run in conjunction with IMail. Is this
correct?

Hey Everyone:
I currently administer NAI's Total Virus Defense on our
Exchange server, but we will soon be changing to IMail. I can't
find any information on McAfee's site regarding IMail, so does anyone
have any experience integrating NAI's TVD on an IMail server?
Where did you find the information on how to integrate it? On the
IMail site, it says to see the configuration notes. Is that
referring to IMail's configuration notes? (My boss has these and I
haven't been able to view them yet.) Thanks for any information
you can pass my way.
