Hi all,

We are a small hosting firm that has been using SIMS for a VERY
long time. Thank you Stalker for this great app!

Because we needed virus protection, we purchased the Webshield
E250 appliance form McAfee/NAI, but still use SIMS as the POP
and SMTP server where the E250 forwards all scanned mail to.

Our experience with the E250 has been pure HELL. We have
to call the support service weekly, and we find bugs on a
monthly basis. We'll not bother you with the details.

We are now looking for an alternative. I would rather
spend money on a new mailserver with integrated virus
scanning that works... We have about 170 mailboxes.

Also, an integrated webmail would be nice, we now
use WebMailPro 2.0 from 4D, which is OK, but not
super...

We have a license for 4D Mail, but since there are a lot
of people having problems with it, I don't dare switching
to it....

We were looking at CGP on OSX, but it seems the only
anti-virus solution for it is.... McAfee, and its prices are
very high.
The licensing fee for the McAfee scanning plugin is
strange: you have to pay for messages per hour. But
what if there is a virus outbreak? Last month we had
over 20.000 virus e-mails in one week... Normally I think
200 messages should be enough for us, if there is no virus
outbreak.

Anyone have any alternatives to the McAfee AV solution,
without having to hack around too much, I have only
basic Unix skills...

Feel free to mail me directly if you feel this is too off-topic
for this SIMS list.


Thnx!

J.
