Hi Adam -

You definitely want C/S/M - The 'M' represents the Messaging portion (aka
ScanMail / Exchange-aware A/V). Besides letting you remove / clean viri
before they even get to user's mailboxes, it also gives you attachment
blocking & spam filtering.

Next - may I ask why all users' mail isn't being pulled down by the Pop
connector? I really don't like the idea of individual clients pulling down
their own mail . . . primarily because you have to rely on the client having
up to date A/V, and you lose control over attachment blocking, etc. - not to
mention that email isn't getting backed up. (Unless of course the users are
pulling down the mail themselves, but storing it in their Exchange mailbox,
in which case the Pop Connector should be pulling it down anyway . . . )
