Virus software configured correctly (Trend or Sybari) on your Exchange server will run great and protect your mailboxes like a champ. Trend Scanmail - saving my butt for 3+ yrs.
We are evaluating gateway scanning for content filtering as well as another layer of virus protection, call it a warm fuzzy feeling. Trend's eManager product really is a small blip on the budget as well.

I let the mail hit the gateway for a preliminary scan, then on to the Exch server for a second scan. The gateway also can act as a holding area should the Exch server go down. If I had to choose one or the other, it would be a product that installs directly on my Exchange server. Trend or Antigen. -----Original Message----- From: BY [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 3:31 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Email Virus Protection Hello Group, If you have a choice as an Exchange Administrator, would you prefer to protect your Exchange environment by installing an e-mail filtering product (gateway) at the DMZ area instead of installing an anti-virus mail product on the machine running Exchange Server? I prefer an gateway solution because I have no confident to complicate my Exchange environment if possible. It seems to me that sometimes Exchange cannot get along well with these products. By doing that, do you think I would be able to filter both incoming and outgoing mails from virus infection? According to my last year's investigation, Trendmicro was the highly recommended one to be running on Exchange server. Is this still the case? I am reviewing the solution again since the management is ready now. I would also appreciate your recommendation which e-mail filtering product you like. Also, if budget is an issue, should I introduce an antivirus product for Exchange Server or an e-mail filtering gateway product ? Thank you for your contribution.
