We use a combination of MxGuard and ClamAV on the actual server, and Brightmail Anti-spam on the frontend, which runs Symantec AV which is updated something like every hour. We got a decent pricing arrangement because we renewed our client AV at the same time.
Before we went with Brightmail, we stopped something like 300-400 viruses a day with just the ClamAV package, we didn�t have a single virus slip through in 8 months.

I wanted to get your thoughts on a situation I am having with IP Switch, along with a recommendation on AV products. We currently run IMail 8.05 at a school, and it runs perfectly for what we need. Our AV is expiring, and IP Switch is telling us that they will no longer supply an AV renewal, and to maintain our AV protection, we will need to go to the ICS (mucho $$$$$). We feel this is incredibly bogus, as we are satisfied with the product we have now, and all we want to do is upgrade our AV patterns. I have spoken with IPSwitch, and they are telling me 'this is the way it is'. I wanted to hear from others their experiences and thoughts. To get around this, we are thinking about integrating a third party AV with our MX Guard SPAM filter. It integrates with FPROT, CLAM, and NAI. I wanted to get some opinions and experiences with others who have utilized this method, and what AV they felt was best.
