Our Symantec Mail Security only does antivirus, we don't have the antispam peice of it. We have a hardware appliance that does that. I can verify that it is stopping viruses because I see them in the quarantine.

We are using Endpoint 11 with email scanning on our terminal servers (all users only connect through terminal servers) and the users do not have local admin rights to the TS boxes either. Does Symantec mail security for exchange do anything better than what the endpoint client that is scanning outlook anyway?

Mail Security for Exchange or just Endpoint Email Scanning

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
