[RTC List] Choice of antivirus protection

[Winter Faulk]

I have to point out one think with the statement "configured to look
like they come from your public address" this is a common tactics of
spammers and many email spam filters and email providers will mark an
email sent in such this way as spam.

I do completely agree that if you are going to use email software then
you should use something other then Outlook such as Thunderbird
(http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/) If you are in a corporate
environment using Exchange and therefor required to use Outlook you
should have a corporate virus scanner on  your exchange box scanning
every email that comes in and you should pass all incoming emails
through a email filtering gateway service such as MX Logic
(http://mxlogic.com/)

Also a side note I don't forward my emails through gmail I use
google's email hosting service
(http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/index.html) witch is the same as
gmail but for your domain.
