Ok here's the lowdown Paul,
Buy SOPHOS and then tell us how good it is OR:
Buy Declude for $500, a command line scanner for $70, test it out and see what you
think (they work together, Declude integrates with IMAIL to permit this), if it
doesn't cut it just write it off as an expense.
Just a question: You are using Imail $1500. and an auxiliary for $30000?

Pssst Ipswitch! Get in on the act and write SMTP virus scanners, they seem to be
profitable.
