RE: [IMail Forum] Expiring AV - Mandatory upgrade to ICS

[Panda Consulting S.A. Luis Alberto Arango]

I know you ask for Mx Guard experiences. Nevertheless you can check out Declude. I run Declude Pro Version (antivirus and antispam) with F-prot for about 2 years. No problem at all with them. And best of all, far more inexpensive that Ipswitch/Imail native antivirus solution –Symantec-. Also very handy and powerful to configure in per domain and user basis.   For the record. 3000 or so users and about 200 domains, processing between 20K and 30K messages per day.             -Luis Arango   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Norman Sent: Martes, 10 de Mayo de 2005 11:05 a.m. To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: [IMail Forum] Expiring AV - Mandatory upgrade to ICS   Hello all...     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.   Thanks for your time,   TN
