RE: File Catching Firewall?

["Josh Mills" <JMills () cnbwaco com>]

we use the exchange piece of symantec antivirus and have it configure to scan 5 levels deep into a zip, if you are 
running on a slower mail server you may want to limit the number of levels you scan do to performance issues.

Here we use a product called Scan Mail from Trend Micro.  It has features
that allow it to scan ZIP files.  Currently we have it set to scan down
three levels.  So it will scan a zipped file that has been zipped and that
file has been zipped.  Works great.  We have been lucky enough not to have
gotten any emailed viruses since we did this.
