What's your budget? And are you looking at running a separate suite for workstations/servers from messaging? Messaging is only one avenue of infection. For messaging: if you have a good budget, consider Secure Computing's IronMail appliance. My organization gets several hundred thousand messages a day and the things take it and keep grinning. Even better, they tie into Active Directory and offload mail processing. This is an excellent supplement to Grey Listing. If you do not have that kind of budget, go with PostFix, ClamAV, SpamAssassin, and AmavisD-New. You get an excellent mail boundary device at that point. ClamAV has some of the best detection rates in the industry right now. PostFix handles GreyListing, which Exchange cannot (last I heard) do. For the rest, pick one Antivirus solution for your servers and another for your workstations. Each one has different strengths and weaknesses. Sincerely, Bryan S. Sampsel LibertyActivist.org

Along with those we want something for exchange as well. We're currently using Trend Micro's Client Server Messaging Suite. The reason we want to replace this product is: 1) there technical support is horrible and seems like the people I talk to in tech support know nothing about their product, and 2) Every time an update is made, some useful feature has been removed. So we're looking for an alternative solution. In reality an all-in-one type solution would be preferred, but separate solutions for workstations, servers, and email would be considered as well. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! Thank you for your time and help! Thanks, Mike
