Re: Exchange Server Virus Scanning

["Wehner, Paul (wehnerpl)" <WEHNERPL () UCMAIL UC EDU>]

Our email gets scrubbed with sophos at the mirapoint gateways and we run scanmail on the exchange servers.
It's been very good. We also use MacAfee webshield smtp scanning on the universities listserv system. 
Without fail Mcafee has been the last to publish critical av updates. The response of Sophos has been impressive. A lot 
of new virus's seem to hit in asia and europe first and Sophos pushes updates 10-15 hours before the virus hits 
stateside.

Hi all,

We have been using Antigen 8.0 from Sybari to secure our Exchange server
2003 infrastructure. Today's issues with the Kaspersky engine
slowing/breaking mail delivery have our "powers that be" asking
questions about which product is currently the industry standard for
education.

Can I ask if anyone out there in the world of higher Ed has some
personal preferences or areas that I might look to evaluate the
benefits/costs/ and drawbacks of changing horses?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
