We've run Trend Micro's Interscan Viruswall product on our primary
mail relay (to/from the Internet) which was a Sun E450 (4 x 300MHz CPU's
and 1GB RAM) (Solaris 2.6) for over two years.
Actually the thing that surprised us was that the product introduced
little extra overhead. We were expecting to have to dramatically increase
our processing power to virus scan all these messages (along with all
the normal relay duties) but the trend software must be very efficient
because we didn't need to do much upgrading at all - went from 2 CPU's to
4 and maybe we added a little more RAM.
About nine months ago mail volumes had grown so much and because we had
also turned on VBS scanning and some other features we added an
additional mail relay host as well. Another Sun E450 (4 x 300MHz CPU's and
4GB RAM) (Solaris 7).
Now both boxes are running with plenty of available overhead and the
host pair averages over 300,000 messages a day (15-20GB/day) with virus
scanning.
Technical and other support has been excelent - we have rarely had any
problems at all.
