RE: File Catching Firewall?

["sandeep khedekar" <skhedekar () mielesecurity com>]

Dear all,

Content scanning for Email with Mailsweeper (Clearswift) is sensible
option. But Content scanner will only understand the content (Email
attachment) risk and block it. Since any content technology scans Email
contents, it dose not execute it. So integrating antivirus with content
scanner will clean and delete any virus affected mail. Integrating your
content filter with antivirus make more sense.

Dear Jasson,

You can put content filter (mimesweeper) in front of your mail server,
where 
policies can be defined for the email contents & attachments allowed.
