But there are also users that decide to use their own XYZ anti virus because their uncle told them it is better than the one choosen by the professionals in charge of the system. That is why outgoing mail gateway is a good place to check that inside machines are not infected. I once got my email outgoing gateway inform me that some user had his machine infected, he had an antivirus, but was one week late for update... At least my outgoing mail gateway, I have control on it and the antiviruses are updated every 2 hours :) Security is better design by adding several layer of checking. At least IMHO too :) Bests, olivier
