Good idea. We also like to tier different A/V products so that we hopefully get some overlap.

I do it exactly the same way as you do but with a different A/V engine on the gateway. I've never been one to trust a single AV vendor and then take the flack if an infected email hit a client... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Clishe Sent: 13 July 2003 19:25 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Outbound Mail: straight out or through A/V box? I've always configured my Exchange bridghead servers to forward outbound mail to the SMTP gateway / Antivirus box that sits in the DMZ. Recently I talked to another engineer that says he always configures his Exchange bridgeheads to go straight out to the Internet, bypassing the SMTP gateway. His logic was that since A/V is already running on the Exchange mailbox servers, no sense in putting more load on the A/V box in the DMZ by having it scan all outbound mail again. I don't particularly like that approach. Just curious how others do it.
