I see your point. However MS use the Forefront for Exchange technology which use multiple AV engines from different vendors so you don't have the all eggs in one basket syndrome.

Thanks Peter. We don't have an enterprise agreement but we do have a volume agreement with Microsoft. I need to check tomorrow how they license Forefront as the pricing we have is for the remainder of our agreement which is several years whilst personally I don't like committing us to any antivirus product for more than a year at a time - with antivirus in particular vendors seem to vary from year to year. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Johnson [mailto:peter.john...@peterstow.com] Sent: 15 August 2010 07:42 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Recipient Policy & Default SMTP Address? Hi Paul If you have an Enterprise agreement type deal with MS investigate FOPE for AV and SPAM. Just moved over myself. With regards to the recipient policies they won't apply unless you tell them to as Michael said. Also if you build the policy it won't change anything that's already correctly set IIRC. I've also left the default one alone and created another one.

As a follow-up, I would be interested to know how many of you are actually running Antivirus/Antispam on your Exchange servers? I'm not sure I'd be comfortable relying on client a/v and Outlooks built in security, however when you look at the features offered by the likes of Google/Postini it's pretty much more for less money than doing it yourself, so it's something I may look into.
