Jim,
We have GroupShield running on Exchange 5.5 and it has been working out
great. There are multiple configuration options but I found one very handy
to deal with considering the latest virus outbreaks - you can manually block
certain attachment types (like VBS, SHS etc) as well as file size
limitations. This way I don't have to worry about users opening VERRY
FUNNY.TXT.SHS and infecting the rest of the world.
Just make sure you configure it to auto-update itself as often as possible
to make sure you're up to date with the latest virus definitions.
Good luck,

Dimitri

Subject: Exchange antivirus issues

I am preparing to migrate my corporate mail system from ccMail to Exchange
5.5 as a member server on an NT network. I have always had good luck
running McAfee A/V on my workstations and servers, and had the McAfee server
product running on this server previously as this Exchange server had been
used for a specialized side project.
1) I have been told that I should be using the Exchange version of A/V
software on an Exchange and would like to stay with McAfee. (Okay by me.)

2) I have even been told to run both Norton A/V and McAfee A/V
simultaneously. (good or bad?)

Any particular issues I should be aware of (configurational or operational?)
