I don't see how Symantec could do this...unless it acts a plug-in to Imail. Or have the ability to read the Imail database.
I am not going to sit there and enter every email address we have into it. If you only have 40 or 50 users then it may be ok. But with 3000+ it'd be a nightmare. And can you imagine trying to maintain a current list once you've entered them all? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Len Conrad Sent: Saturday, 24 July 2004 12:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] SAV Mail Gateway [WAS Anti-virus] >I think everyone should suggeest to symantes to add a list of accounts to >accept mail for. That way mail to non existant accounts will be stoped at >the gateway yep, how stupid and inefficient is it to AV scan every single arriving msg when 80% is spam, may 50% is for recipients that don't even exist? Plus Norton SAV backscatter is viciously notorious. Norton SAV gateway, or anything that screws up equivalently, is an architectural disaster. "Not that there's anything wrong with that." AV scanning is so expensive, it should be the LAST step before mailbox delivery, scanning only the msgs that have passed through all other filtering, NOT the first step out as the per-recipient-ignorant MX.
