Yes. But some hundrets ov viruses per month has given me the experience, 
that you can sleep more comfortable if you combine antivir from H+B EDV 
with ClamAV. Sometimes the update process of ClamAV is bit faster and has 
protected our system from some desaster.

My recommendation: H+B-EDV Antivir together with ClamAV and a well 
configured postfix server for mail relaying.

Hello,

since the software quality is so substandard for Domino antivirus 
gateways I would strongly advise to ditch them all and go an entirely 
different route. Instead of paying lots of $$$ (or €€€) or whatever 
currency it is you will be forking over for a low quality product that 
is actually dangerous and prone to hang / crash / burn, install the 
antivirus SMTP gateway on the same box using a different port. amavis 
has been mentioned, I use amavis-new, which you can use with almost any 
anti virus software. Mine updates frequently during the day with no 
problems at all. Only just today W32.Sober.I@mm somehow made it tru :-( 
But that hole is plugged now, too.

My recommendation: amavisd-new with H+B EDV on Linux.  SuSE Linux, of 
course ;-)
