Anti-Virus options

[mrrrl]

Looking at IMail, but their anti-virus is pretty steep. We already have Norton/Symantec for the network. Most other email server allow any anti-virus as long as they support command line access.

What is everyone else using?

TIA

How can I use a command line scanner with IMail Server. Is there some examples to integrate

 

[jst3751]

Command line scanners can not be used with Imail. The only AV product that can be used is the Imail AV by Symantec, an expensive option.

You are much better off using Declude AV with a command line scanner such as Gristoft or F-Prot.

Have Imail and I use Declude with Mcafee and F Prot for virus scanning. We also have Symantec CE which scans through Outlook.

One virus scanner is not enough. Incredible how many virus attempts are made each day on our system.

I really like Declude, the price seems high for the Pro version, but the use of very cheap virus scan engines make up for it. Setup is easy, as long as you get the newest documentation.
I consider Declude as a necessity. I don't worry about viruses anymore; if something get through the 3 scans, it is beyond anyone's control

Imail is super easy to setup, once your ISP gets your DNS settings correctly set. Imail's tech support was really good
