any anti-virus software recomendations?
Hello,

I need to install a mail anti-virus software in my server, I've been thinking in Ravantivirus.com (which includes antivirus and antispam), the only problem is the pricing: 1500 $ for 30 domains.

Anyone has tried it? Which are your impressions?

Would you recommend me any other anti-virus software?

Mail traffic in my server is not very high (about 1000-1500 e-mails daily).

Thanks a lot,

NArcís

We use it on our GossamerHost servers which run qmail, and it works quite well. My only complaint is that they are taking forever to release a non-rpm based distribution for qmail for their latest version, so I haven't been able to test the anti-spam features (however I feel that Rav + SpamAssassin is a good combination).

Cheers,

Alex

Oh, one other downside to it, is you can not customize the rejection message (i.e. this message was rejected because it contained a virus) without wrapping their program and hacking in an error message into qmail and recompiling it.

Cheers,

Ok, thanks a lot for you reply Alex.

Then I suppose I'll choose Ravantivirus, they seem to be the most competent.

Just to know it. I suppose it is also a good option for protecting GM users isn't it?

Hi

We use Sophos MailMonitor for SMTP with SpamAssasin. Works great for us!

Cheers
