I'm using Avast's Winroute plugin and am quite satisfied with it's
performance. Can you give any reasons why you think NOD32 is the best
antivirus plugin for Winroute?

And in the case of Winroute, SMTP connections, too.

Winroute's bandwidth management is rudimentary, but there is some. Users can
be assigned quotas.
Users' traffic activity statistics can be monitored and logged and the
number of connections allowed per user can be globally assigned. More
extensive bandwidth management would be desirable, to be sure.

I've been using Winroute for years and I like it. One thing missing is what
the OP desired - NNTP filtering. I had suggested that to Kerio support soon
after they released version 5. Still not there at version 6.09.
