Hosted Exchange - Antispam and Antivirus Setup

Can the Antispam and Antivirus features of ASG be used with a Hosted Exchange setup? I liked the security the POP Proxy provided and I'd like to get the same piece of mind for my hosted exchange service.

  • If the company hosting my Exchange didn't provide adequate anti-spam and anti-virus protection, I think I'd find a more-responsible supplier!

    That said, if your provider can point at your public IP and identify it as a smarthost, then I don't see any reason you can't accomplish what you want.  You would need to change your public MX record to point at your Astaro and configure to relay from and forward inbound mail to the hosted Exchange.

    Cheers - Bob

  • I have no reason not to trust them. I'm just used to seeing the results for myself. Thanks for the information. Hardly seems worth the effort. I'll just stick with the hosting providers services.

    Thanks
