Re: Scanning for Viruses

Lyle,
We use Trend Micro's products (InterScan VirusWall + eManager plug-in) on
our Sun Solaris mail hub. It works very well for us. The eManager plug-in
allows us to block attachments by extension (like .vbs, and .scr). I feel
it is very important to have protection at the gateway since you can't
always control the clients on your LAN.
