G'Day,
No Marketing here.
I like Sophos mainly due the SCO Openserver support that I need.
Sophos and Anomy are a great combination for and SCO OpenServer
and sendmail solutions.
Kind Regards
Peter

For the mail filtering, I recommend F-Prot Antivirus for Linux
(www.f-prot.com), because they're the ones writing my paychecks
(sponsoring Anomy) and the F-Prot programmers are Good Guys (tm).
:-)
It's currently in beta and is free for any use until the beta period
ends (soon). It will be competetively priced compared to the other
Linux offerings out there. Feature-wise it is similar to the DOS
version of F-Prot, although hopefully we'll have a daemonized version
available soon which will speed up mail scanning very dramatically.
Regarding the engine itself, it's gotten consistently good marks from
Virus Bulletin (www.virusbtn.com) for the past few years (look for FRISK
or one of the companies we OEM to: Data Fellows/F-Secure, Command), and
is relatively fast compared to the competition (or so I'm told, anyway).

I don't know whether F-Prot will work with your firewall.
