    Hello,

    I will evaluate a SMPT Gateway (it is an appliance), the objective of
    this evaluation is to validate if it really works well in the next
    criteria:

    1.- Anti-Spam.
    2.- Antivirus.
    3.- WebMail Protection.

    To do this, I have implemented a lab with the characteristics of an
    operational environment (Firewall - SMPT Gategay - MailServer - Work
    stations)

    Do you know any security methodology to test the previous criteria?,
    What tools I can use?, Do you have any idea to test those
    functionalities?

    Thanks for your help.

    attached mail follows:
