My concern with this solution is mapping the drives. Mapping MS drives
requires NetBios right? And NetBios is vulnerable. If the Mail Server is
in a DMZ, then you're not going to want NetBios on it. Unless you insert a
second NIC into the Mail Server, run a local IP, add NetBios, and make sure
it can only talk to your AV machine. At least, this my approach for an NT
network. I'm not sure whether NetBios is necessary for mapping in a Win2k
environment.
