Ditto , but with mcafee we also run Note on blocking extension => .PIF .ZIP .EXE => just on the extension name filetype => does not matter what extension => checks binary signature of file =>if file extension is .mp4 but it's sig is for a mp3 it will be dealt with as if it was a .mp3
Another thing to point out is that it dissasembles every item, so if say there are jpegs inserted in a excel document and you block jpegs but allow excel, the excel document in question will be blocked. mailmarshal and others also have this functionality cheers Dean -----Original Message----- From: Katz, Gordon J.

We did not want to run anything else on our exchange servers. Mimesweeper can scan both inbound and outbound. It will also route for different domains. The product allows you to block by extension, filetype, etc.. It is a great product!!! We are running fsecure as an antivirus on the mailsweeper box. www.mimesweeper.com Mailsweeper for SMTP is the product... -----Original Message----- From: BY [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 6:31 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Email Virus Protection Hello Group, If you have a choice as an Exchange Administrator, would you prefer to protect your Exchange environment by installing an e-mail filtering product (gateway) at the DMZ area instead of installing an anti-virus mail product on the machine running Exchange Server? I prefer an gateway solution because I have no confident to complicate my Exchange environment if possible. It seems to me that sometimes Exchange cannot get along well with these products. By doing that, do you think I would be able to filter both incoming and outgoing mails from virus infection? According to my last year's investigation, Trendmicro was the highly recommended one to be running on Exchange server. Is this still the case? I am reviewing the solution again since the management is ready now. I would also appreciate your recommendation which e-mail filtering product you like. Also, if budget is an issue, should I introduce an antivirus product for Exchange Server or an e-mail filtering gateway product ? Thank you for your contribution.
