Depends on what your goals are. For me, a reliable email system does not just mean "mail gets delivered". It also means that "we reliably reject detectable viruses". If we're letting viruses through because our pants are down (because our AV tool has failed), then that's not a reliable email system. That's a dysfunctional email system. better monitoring and notification: yes, good. letting potentially virus laden email through because your AV tool is down: very bad. It's like using condoms. Just because you run out of condoms doesn't make unprotected sex suddenly "safe". Accepting email from the world without your AV tool processing it is as irresponsible as having unprotected sex with the entire world. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
