Subject: RE: best linux av?
Yes, I see your point, although I'd hope my desktop AV would catch this
stuff before it reaches the exchange server.
What I don't like is the burden of a realtime scan on exchange. Perhaps a
combination of gateway scanning, nightly mailbox scans and realtime desktop
AV would be sufficient.
