It's more of a "defence in depth" issue.  We filter everything through 
Message Labs.  It took years for anything to get through that.  Years. 
Then we've been hit a few times recently.
One just knows there's always the risk of being the "first person".  We've 
went through the labor of reporting these to Message Labs and soon they've 
shot out an email to everyone similar to "a few customers have noticed one 
got through".  You can configure who gets those emails.  We made it an 
address like xysyso at dekk0 dot com and assigned that address to a Domino 
group.   And put people in that group.  What we haven't done is told them 
what should be done upon receipt of that email.

We have 508 databases in the mail directory.

Yes it may be "make work".  It may also be "we have to appear to be doing 
'something'".

We may end up replicating everything to Windows just so we can run a 
database scan after the pattern file gets updated.

Sounds like a make work project. Your problem isn't Domino on IBM i. Your 
problem is virus/spam filtering. I'd suggest you buy a Barracuda to attack 

the real problem and save yourself some time.

Solely because the support for Trend on IBM i is a joke.
- They only support an ancient version of Trend.
- They only support ancient versions of the OS.
- They charge you extra for this atrocity.
The goal is to be a line of defence for "zero day" viruses missed by 
Message Labs. I don't think we want to be running old crap.
Trend didn't catch a virus in years that was missed by Message Labs and I 
really don't expect it to.  But we have to "do something".  We've had a 
few zero day virus' get through lately.  And when the CEO opens that zip 
file and get whammed...

Right now it's just our domino partitions running SMTP.  We use dedicated 
dpars named INTERNOTES* (01, ...) for these.
We'll probably also put trend on other windows based domino servers which 
will be replicas of existing IBM i servers simply to run dbscan's on them 
to scan the databases for zero day type of viruses which may have made it 
into files.

Why would you do a thing like that?
