RE: New AV Gateway Recommendations
Yeah, but I don't like how their content v whitelisting works. If you whitelist someone, it only prevents it from being scanned against the blocked sender list. The messages will still be scanned for blocked content. Irritates me. If I whitelist someone, I don't want to scan any part of the message except for viruses.

Re: New AV Gateway Recommendations
When I was running an Exchange consulting gig at a big oil company (100,000+ seats) we used Tumbleweed's product. The thing I really liked about their product was that it is very fast and VERY flexible (SQL backend\web front-end). We were using it for keyword filtering (string matching (with wildcards) with a point scale, so each string has a point value...once the defined threshold for that value it reached while reading through a message it does the desired action on a message) and for AV scanning. You can use a number of different scan engines (I seem to remember using Norton's, but the point is you can choose so you can have a different engine on the SMTP scanner then you do downstream). This was by far the best SMTP scanner I have worked with to date. Anyhow...I highly recommend it as it is fast, flexible, and the support was excellent (plus I believe it does everything that you require). -Steve I'm looking for a new AV gateway product.

RE: New AV Gateway Recommendations
There is no additional agent for Exchange. If you buy Corp. Ed., it does not include the AV/Filtering for Exchange. And, IMHO, it sucks rocks. I like Corp. ed., but the Exchange server piece bites, and I have told them that plenty of times. The A/V scanning is fine, but the content filtering leaves a LOT to be desired. It is also not a gateway piece (though they have one available which was mentioned earlier).

The thing I really liked about their product was that it is very fast and VERY flexible (SQL backend\web front-end). We were using it for keyword filtering (string matching (with wildcards) with a point scale, so each string has a point value...once the defined threshold for that value it reached while reading through a message it does the desired action on a message) and for AV scanning. You can use a number of different scan engines (I seem to remember using Norton's, but the point is you can choose so you can have a different engine on the SMTP scanner then you do downstream). This was by far the best SMTP scanner I have worked with to date. Anyhow...I highly recommend it as it is fast, flexible, and the support was excellent (plus I believe it does everything that you require). -Steve I'm looking for a new AV gateway product.

Check out MailMarshal which is now owned by NetIQ. It meets all of your requirements below. The only gotcha would be that they don't have their own AV software. It has dll hooks into several AV vendor packages such as Norman, Sophos, McAfee, etc. Currently I'm using Norman's AV client with good sucess.
