asked on
virus protection exchange server
We have exchange server on our premise. We also have virus protection, Symantec endpoint protection on our computers. Is there a way for our exchange server to scan all emails/attachments for viruses? What type of product does this? Or do I need to make sure I get a mail scanner on the outlook clients also?

I have Symantec Endpoint for Small Business. In the cloud version, does it provide mail filtering?
So no Forefront.
But all the other suggestions are valid, You should have endpoint protection in the Outlook / web clients and something between your server and the Internet.

The second section is on on-premise protection
But if you have Symantec on the workstations it might be better to have a different provider elsewhere.

We use Mimecast as our email anti-spam AV protection. It's a cloud-based service so it take care of emails before they hit you and it works pretty well. We have been on it for over two years and it has done a good job for us.
(Microsoft used to have a good product called Forefont but they don't sell it any more.)
You can run a separate SMTP filter (like X-Wall).
You can also use a firewall with an SMTP filter addin like SonicWALL that does some of the work before the message gets to your Exchange server
You can buy a black box like Barracuda
You can outsource the preprocessing to Microsoft or McAfee (after all most of your e-mail comes from the Internet.
You should also have the mail filtering turned on on the client endpoints.
