Re: SMTP Gateway Hardware
To be honest with you Nelo, I'm a little confused.
Are you going to run Symantec AV on the gateway, or is all it is doing is
receiving mail and passing it on?
I imagine with 2500 users, you must process a lot of mail. Do you plan to
only use 1 gateway?
What are you using / doing now?
Everyone here is happy to help you, but when posting, providing details are
important.
