I would alos look at implementing the Exchange Internet Mail Filter. I believe this can run on your Exchange mailbox server with no problems. This will give you another layer of spam protection. As for three layers of Virus protection, even for a small shop I don't feel this is overkill. Dennis -----Original Message----- From: phunked up!

Am getting ready to run install a complete email system (Exchange server) for approximatley 175 users. For antivirus we are currently running Trend company wide and it has served us well. We currently have no spyware solution to filter web traffic. My plan is to purchase Norton 8200 Antivirus & Antispam firewall (applicance) and to put Trend Scanmail for exchange on our server. Figured that that might be overkill int the antivrus department and here is why: Clients-Trend Micro Exchange Server - Scan Mail for Exchange Gateway Solution - Norton 8200 Spam-Virus Firewall. What I was thinking of doing was just puttting regular antivirus client on Exchange and using the saved money to purchase an anitspyware appliance from Barracuda Networks. I would think that two layers of virus protection (gateway, client) would be fine and three layers (gatway, email server, client) may be a bit much for a small-medium environment. In my last exchange deployment several years ago I had it set up with regular cleint on exchange server and a gatway solution. Of course years ago things were a bit different. Any opinions would be much apprecaited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The Norwich University program offers unparalleled Infosec management education and the case study affords you unmatched consulting experience.
