Re: [FW-1] Email Virus Protection



We run Trend as CVP and it works great!  However, in the overall design you do
not have security in depth with it only on the gateway.  We also run McAffee
on our exchange hosts.  There is always the possibility of an internal mail
users PC getting infrected by another means and it replicating through
exchange.
It's best to stop it at the gateway and then IF it get's aboard in house, it's
nice to have a product there to arrest it.  Also, it's nice to have TWO
different forms of scanning (reputable, F-Secure, McAffee, Trend, Symantec)
that update automatically and reliably so that if one vendor does not have you
covered right away, the other will.

Merry Christmas to All.  :-)

Subject: [FW-1] Email Virus Protection

Hello Group,

If you have a choice as an Exchange Administrator, would you prefer to
protect your Exchange environment by installing an e-mail filtering product
(gateway) at the DMZ area instead of installing an anti-virus mail product
on the machine running Exchange Server? I prefer an gateway solution because
I have no confident to complicate my Exchange environment if possible. It
seems to me that sometimes Exchange cannot get along well with these
products.

By doing that, do you think I would be able to filter both incoming and
outgoing mails from virus infection?

According to my last year's investigation, Trendmicro was the highly
recommended one to be running on Exchange server. Is this still the case? I
am reviewing the solution again since the management is ready now. I would
also appreciate your recommendation which e-mail filtering product you like.

Also, if budget is an issue, should I introduce an antivirus product for
Exchange Server or an e-mail filtering gateway product ?

Thank you for your contribution.
