Dang, Thanks for the eye opener Scott. I had a long look at your site last night and like the look of your products. Also now understand what SPF is and guess I better start working on that before we are being rejected by the world. Dang, always something!.
I have no doubts that I will not be sticking with Imail because we don't really have the kind of market it takes to support the extra cost for the new features we would be accumulating and probably not able to sell. I hope that maybe we will meet again in another market and I can try out your products then. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

No. By "desktop virus scanner", I'm referring to a virus scanner designed to scan files on a single computer (as opposed to a mailserver virus scanner, enterprise virus scanner, etc.). McAfee, for example, has (had?) a Windows95/Windows98-only version of VirusScan (their desktop scanner). That ain't even gonna do ya no good on XP Pro. They do, however, have many versions of VirusScan that work on servers. F-Prot, a favorite AV choice of many Declude customers, "just works". They don't have the oddball licensing issues that McAfee has, it isn't designed to not install on servers, the pricing is straightforward, and they don't have salespeople that used to work in used car lots. $40/year buys you 10 licenses, one for Declude Virus, with another 9 bonus licenses that you can either use or not. >If I new that Norton 2005 would I would probably go there in a >heartbeat because one of my next possible replacement selections for Imail >said it works with it, it just didn't say on what OS. Norton's a different story. They are the *only* AV company that has rigged their product to break when used with automated products (even if you try running it from a batch file or script, if it sees a virus, it will tell you that the file is virus-free!). And http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/columns/executive_tech/article.php/3316511 shows that they aren't really worth considering (out of 23 AV products tested, Norton (Symantec) came in 2nd to last in the amount of time to come up with new virus definitions). Norton has excellent marketing, but is far from the best AV program. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
