Hello, I have never heard of Astaro -- what type of firewall does it provide ? how does it filter http , POP and smtp ?
For desktop A/V Etrust has a nice product. For mail -- if you want a commercial product ( some companies require this because then they have "vendor support" -- like a fall guy) I suggest the mxtreme (www.mxtreme.com). It is a mail gateway with A/V using Kapersky with a secure OWA proxy. I believe it is the industry leading standard in anti-spam. If you do not need a commercial product look at Astaro ... and I would check out http://lawmonkey.org/anti-spam.html - it has a nice anti-spam howto right from OS install to the spam features. I would keep the mail server separate from the firewall box .. the firewall box should only be used as a firewall. I have had a great deal of experience with secure mail servers and anti-spam. The anti-spam box / mail gateway definitly needs it's own box. Also I heard the http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/ is a nice solution. I have not used it my self. Michael.
