Based on cost and the location of the company offering it, I would avoid this program. The way that the program scans emails is bizarre, and I can imagine quite a few situations where viruses could get through. Declude Virus is proven, efficient, effective, and affordable. If you are thinking about spending more than $500 for an A/V solution, I think it's the only way to go, IMHO.

Every time you receive a message. And if you've got 100 messages in there when the 101st arrives, it'll process all 101 messages even though it's already seen the first 100. And if the ImailZip service stops for some reason, infected mail will be silently delivered intact instead of being held in the queue until the problem is fixed. I'm sure there's a reason for doing it that way instead of just analysing incoming messages through the normal hook (like Declude and mxGuard). There has to be - nobody would even dream of such inefficient and failure-prone processing without a good reason. And if someone works out what that reason is, please enlighten me. :) Cheers, Evan To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
