Re: POP/SMTP Proxy

[Daniel J Shauver <shauver () rush edu>]

Jimmy,

        We're using TrendMicro's Interscan with sendmail on a couple of
Solaris boxes as gateway servers.  Works pretty well for us.  We
certainly haven't noticed anything for which a virus def works getting
through our sendmail servers.  Our firewall is configured to only allow
incoming STMP to our gateways, so all mail has to pass through them
before being sent on to the internal destination.  The setup isn't too
difficult, assuming you've got a decent understanding of sendmail.  I'm
pretty sure that Symantec (Norton) has a similar product that also
interacts with sendmail.  

        Our internal mail servers are a real mix - Lotus Notes, other
[U|Li]n[i|u]x servers, Exchange, and some odder sorts, none of which
seem too bothered by the whole deal.
