We use a two tier solution. On the front end we have ServGate Edgeforce firewall. The firewall uses the McAfee scanning engine to scan emails, SMTP/POP3 or both, as they pass through the firewall.

Its a very neat clean solution that require no changes to DNS or network topology in most case. It's been good about fast updates to defs, we had our W32.Bagle update Sunday night, and it doesn't let anything through as far as virus go.

Inside we have a NAV SMTP Gateway. Which really just acts as a gateway since we have not had anything get past the EdgeForce.

Best bet is to go with a dedicated solution.  SAVCE will catch virus
infected emails, but not all of them.  I'm using Declude Virus on my server
right now with McAfee AV 8.0.  Works like a champ and wasn't that expensive
considering the job it does.  I still have SAVCE on the server but it does
not scan the Imail Spool directory.

It might cost a few bucks now but it'll save you grief in the future, as
SAVCE will not stop all the emails, and Imail's solution is VERY expensive
in comparison to Declude with McAfee (or any other virus scanner with a
command line option, which SAVCE does not have).

Subject: [IMail Forum] Anti-Virus Options


We have Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate Edition on our network, and I was wondering if there's a way to allow it to work with Imail instead of purchasing the Anti-Virus add-on (that would essentially cost us what we already paid for the corporate licensing, doubling our total cost for anti-virus).

I'm asking here if anyone has had a similar need to integrate their existing
Anti-virus software with Imail and how they addressed it - this is not
asking for Symantec Anti-Virus expertise (since this is not the forum for
such a question).
