saying it would replace isa 2004, but I ask because of a tight budget
and the church looking at SBS wants content filter. All isa plugins
that I have seen cost too much money for the church to consider it as
an option. I love my SBS 2003 prem server and I have tried some of the
Linux type SMB servers out and Microsoft is the one for me. I'm just
wondering if anyone in SBS land does this, or does anyone know of
software that can do the AV, spam, content filter in isa for the same
price (free download)? As I see it you don't have to be all or none
when it comes to Microsoft and Linux, they each do thinks good and
others not why not exploit the good ones?

Yep, use a WatchGuard Firebox x550e or higher at every clients.

Allows removal of content in HTTP or SMTP sessions and the new version 8.5
will allow attachment removal when users pull POP3 mail. This puts the
firewall in control of removing content based on the rules I create,
before it reaches the users/network.

In 30 years I've never had a virus on any network/machine we manage.
