Imail AV works very well for me. I do not have the notification system enabled, because in the first 5 minutes of use on my server it caught 75-80 virus, and generated notification for each one. I didn't need the extra traffic on the server.
You would need to make sure in the processes of your server you see symscan.exe and sswchdog.exe running. Also, make sure on the AV tab found in local host you have the scanning enabled. If you have all domains with their own IP, at the bottom of the main page for each one is a box that says (virus scanning). Make sure that is checked also. If you have all this done, and no notification is being sent, then you are lucky.. unless it truly is not catching virus's. If you have these checked and the AV wasn't working, your mail would be requed. It happened to me after installing (I screwed up activating the license) and watched my spool get HUGE. I am not sure if this helped, but so far so good with me and the IMAIL av solution.. although.. when up for renewal I will be suggesting Declude to my boss. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RMilner Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 12:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Symantec AntiVirus and IMail I have a question about Symantec AntiVirus in IMail. I realize probably 3/4 of this thread probably uses the Declude offering, but I am sure there must be someone who uses the IMail Symantec offering. I wouldn't pretend to do anywhere near the number of email a day as most of you do. 1,000 a day would be a heavy day well over 50% of that is spam. Yet in months of using the Symantec AntiVirus, I have yet to see a single virus caught. Now on the flipside, I have yet to have one pass through either. I have the system setup to notify me and the user if a virus is detected, but it's never triggered. Logs don't show any detection either. In the last several weeks I have all the sudden seen a number of emails come in with NULL Bodies, or no attached messaged. In most cases, the header isn't even complete. I can find nothing in the logs that lead me to believe this was a virus incoming, but I am wondering why I see several of these a day now when I never saw them a month ago (8.05?). So, I guess I have 2 questions. Does anyone use the IMail Symantec offering and does the notification system actually work? And is anyone seeing an increase in emails with NULL or no bodies in the last several weeks or is this the AntiVirus?
