Hey everyone, My company is the process of looking for a new all-in-one spam/virus solution for our servers and workstations. Along with those we want something for exchange as well. We're currently using Trend Micro's Client Server Messaging Suite. The reason we want to replace this product is: 1) there technical support is horrible and seems like the people I talk to in tech support know nothing about their product, and 2) Every time an update is made, some useful feature has been removed. So we're looking for an alternative solution. In reality an all-in-one type solution would be preferred, but separate solutions for workstations, servers, and email would be considered as well. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! Thank you for your time and help!
I'd suggest running your email thru a Postfix mailserver with ClamAv and SpamAssassin active. Keep your email store as your exchange box and then install AVG free on the desktops to automatically update from your proxy server. This will initially need someone to decide what email is spam and what not so that SpamAssassin can learn. Keep a daily check on it and soon you should have SpamAssasin catching all the spam and likewise ClamAv catching the viruses. Whatever they don't catch the AVG product on the desktop will. I believe that the paid version of AVG offers a spam detection engine as well so it might be a good idea to add this onto your workstations.
