Hi,

I have SBS 4.5 running on an NT server. I have about 20 client PC's connected
to this server. When an email (containing a virus) get sent to an email user
at john_doe@domain_name.com, the user would get hit with a virus. That's
because that user does not have an updated virus list, while using Norton
Antivirus software on his local client PC.

I'd like to change this, to where the server would catch the virus first, and
contain it at that location, so an infected email will not even reach the
client's machine.
I do realize that the client PC's still need its local Norton Antivirus
software to detect viruses other than the ones attached in the company's
emails.

What server anti-virus software do you recommend? And do they all pretty much
work the same way? Thanks.
