SBS 2011 Virus Protection. Are my mailboxes protected?
What level of virus protection do I need? I am running Small Business server with Exchange. My emails are being scanned for viruses and spam via a third party cloud product called Spam Soap. If I run virus protection designed for file servers are my mailboxes protected from anything internal? Making an assumption that all incoming emails are scrubbed before it arrives. Seems like if I add something designed for Exchange the Exchange level of protection is redundant.

Better to play it safe for sure. Not much more to also protect the Exchange Server. What about the cloud service then? Let's say I go with one of the End Point Service products that offers File Server, Mail Server, and spam. Would I still need the cloud service like SpamSoap to scan the emails before they come in? Am I saving any man-hours or adding a level of protection by having this redundancy?
Sure. Reduces load on the server. Doesn't hurt. I do both.

Thanks for the recommendations. Installed both.
