Re: [IMail Forum] Declude Antivirus

About the time Nimda hit, we put Mcafee VirusScan 4.? on our Imail Win2k server and performance slowed to a pitiful level of performance.  I do not have any numbers or stats, but as soon as we removed Mcafee, performance returned to normal.  We also tried NAV with the same results.  I think it's because these products are checking huge .MBX files every time they are accessed.   <IMHO> If your Imail server is a dedicated server to just the application, the SMTP scanner, whatever product you use, should be sufficient.  As mentioned earlier in this listing, because you are not running IIS and no other activity is going on, you should be all set.</IMHO>   ~Alan   ----- Original Message ----- From: Hank Townsend To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 8:21 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] Declude Antivirus Does anyone know what Declude/McAfee or Declude/F-Prot will do to the server processor? I have a PII - 400 with 384MB. Right now it is consistently at 30% utilization. How much worse will it get if 10,000 emails are sent a day mostly spread out over a 10 hour period?   Thanks   Hank Townsend
