Paul,

I believe their Anti-Spam services also covers spam-like and phishing
websites that you might be directed to through email or other web links.

Sincerely,

Subject: Re: [gb-users] GTA's Anti-Virus and Spam services

The Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam offerings are components of Mail Sentinel
which only addresses email.

The impact of scanning services instream such as FTP and HTTP is massive
and without tremendous cpu power the firewall would crawl.  We've seen
this on a competitor's firewall when enabling these feature on FTP and
HTTP traffic; the system was usable for only a single user.

Also it doesn't make much sense to scan for Spam on anything but email.
Don't really know what Spam on telnet would be, (or for that matter a
virus).
