We're currently using Symantec SAV SMTP Gateway product (on a separate
server) in conjunction with Sendmail for NT (VERY soon to Imail... ) Thanx
to Declude's excellent virus test site, I'll be sleeping with both eyes
closed tonight. The combination seems to work just fine.
I couldn't agree more re: having anti-virus software at the desktop and
an pre-warned, alert user base that is OFTEN reminded of the dangers of
email borne virus/trojan threats... This has saved our cumulative butts on
at least three documented occasions. Also... Thanx to all for the help
you've already given me in setting up Imail... (I feel like such a Noob... )
;)
