The pros and cons of dropping attachments
Why isn't dropping certain attachments (pif, scr, etc.) a good practice? I think it's safe to say that most companies have no use for these files. I agree that dropping them is not the ONLY solution, but for many file types, it is a good practice. >>1 new reply

The value of using multiple AV engines
What is the value of using multiple antivirus engines on the SMTP or Exchange front ends? Is this a recommended practice rather than relying on a product with a single engine at the edge? >>1 new reply

Encrypting Outlook/Exchange e-mail
Does standard Outlook/Exchange e-mail going out over the Internet get encrypted, or do we need to do something to make that happen? Is the default S/MIME a type of encryption? >>1 new reply
