We use Webshield on a standalone machine, just to scan incoming mail before it hits the real Exchange server. It's been running like this for the past 6 months, and has performed very well. Same with Groupshield. I had some problems with the earlier versions, but the 4.5 version has worked very well on our Exchange 5.5 server for quite some time now. I just built our new Exchange 2000 machine last Friday, and installed Groupshield 5.2 on it. No problems so far.
Every new release (4.0, 4.5, 5.0, etc.) has more than a few problems, so it seems their testing procedures leave much to be desired. But once they clean up the bugs (4.5sp1, 5.2) the product performs quite well. YMMV.

When we called NAI they said they don't recommend install groupshield and webshield on the same server. 2) Out of the box, Webshield is set to relay. The only way I figured this out was to stop webshield and then have my servers checked by all the anti spam companies (ORDB.org, etc). After calling NAI and really hammering the tech on the other line, he finally admitted that the product does relay. In the setup manual, there is a section that explains how to set webshield to accept mail from servers within your company. However, the instructions tell you it is not really necessary to do this. The instructions lie. The tech told me the instructions are not "clear".
