I would expect most of the well known commercial antivirus solutions would not be effected and scan prior to delivery/forwarding. Also, unless you add an antivirus solution to all your subdomain servers, you would need to point all subdomain servers to use the main server for all SMTP outbound. This is so that outbound mail will be scanned by the main server and not sent directly by the subdomain server bypassing antivirus scanning. Don't know how you would do this one :-( Personally I would recommend having an antivirus solution on each separate office server. This provides scanning on a per server basis, load balancing, fauly redundancy and protects your individual servers from direct Internet to subdomain incoming e-mail. This is a typical spammer and antivirus tactic. You can block this type of attempt with <SME5.5 via obtuse_smtpd. I do not know how this may be done on >=SME5.5. Anyone know how to restrict incoming smtp to one source on >=SME5.5? Also I think you may be better served by simply creating all the user accounts on the main server and using the built-in forwarding feature for forwarding to the appropriate subdomain server. Nothing more needed to accomplish this. Just my thoughts...
