Not so. You cannot install and run the desktop version of VirusScan on an NT
Server. You must use the NT Server version. (all of $60) Well, as far
as a corrupt DAT file, I have yet to see one and I've been using McAfee
since my early BBS days, almost 20 years. I would suspect that their
email gateway would crash the same if any service or DAT was
corrupted. I think the probability of this is almost zero.

I am sure WebShield is a very good product, but again you are wrong.
The only thing worse than one server is two unless you are running
many SMTP servers. Scott's message explains all this (I see he just
posted). Declude is composed of one executable and a couple of config
files. I would bet on one solid executable running threads more than
on multiple servers.
