True. I should have added "IIS" to my list of reasons to consider it.

You would be if several of your Exchange servers were infected by our NIMDA

What's he risking by not having file-based A/V on his Exchange server?
There shouldn't be anything other than Exchange on the server, so Antigen
should protect his server quite nicely.
I'm not a proponent of file-based scanners on servers that aren't file
servers.

You are risking a lot by not putting Antivirus software on your server.
We've been running ScanMail and ServerProtect on our Exchange server for
a while w/o any problem. We did exclude ScanMail and Exchange folders
from scanning.
