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.

Do you really think that the *ONLY* possible way a virus can
get into your Exchange environment is through your SMTP gateway?
Let's say a user uses Outlook to POP an email from their
personal account into their Exchange mailbox, and that email
is infected. Or let's say that a user downloads a file from
the Internet that infects their Exchange mailbox. Now what?
Since you don't have any mailbox-level virus protection, you
have to sit there and watch this thing propagate to all your
users and infect all your mailboxes.
But at least your gateway will clean it before it sends it
out to your customers.

It is absolutely essential that you have virus protection on your
Exchange servers, over and above whatever gateway virus
protection
you might be running.

Well, the linux products do file blocking etc so I don't any
difference, apart from freeing up tons of CPU cycles on the
exchange
box and seeing less of that crappy 'retrieving data' dialog in
outlook...

I'm kind of in a similar position, I just can't help but
think that
whatever you have at the gateway there's a bit of added
reassurance
having something like Scanmail on the Exchange box, given
the file
blocking capabilities and all.
regards,
Paul

Subject: best linux av?
just wondering if anyone has a favourite AV scanner for
linux with
postfix as the mta? our trend renewal is coming up and i'm
thinking i'd like to remove the CPU burden of AV
scanning from
the exchange box and put it on our
linux relay which also does the spam filtering.
thanks
dan.
