I have 0 experience with Ironport.  I have acted in the role of a VAR
for Proofpoint many moons ago and we are currently using them in our
production environment (although the solution was chosen before I
arrived here).

I may sound biased due to my history with Proofpoint, but I have been
very impressed with their technology and the results are great.  I have
worked on a very technical level with their support staff and have
always been met with knowledgeable help.

They integrate with a few different anti-virus vendors and run either in
an appliance mode or as software on your server.

Thanks,
Brian
