Trend Micro ScanMail v6.2 for Microsoft Exchange
Last, but certainly not least, we arrive at the Trend Micro ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange application. Configuration is via a Web interface either locally or remotely. There is a local application also that enables monitoring of the traffic/statistics and even a performance graphing capability.
The automatic update system is very easy to set up for both the core module and the definitions (down to checks once every hour). The Web interface is quite user friendly and logically laid out.
In conclusion, this is a very easy package to install, configure, and administer. While Trend Micro may not have as many platforms supported as F-Secure, it certainly is another worthy consideration for a enterprise-wide single vendor antivirus application.

Unfortunately mailmarshal's reporting of problems to the sender leaves a lot to be desired. It's reports are amongst the least useful of any mail gateway software on the market, failing to include the headers of the original message, and typically misidentifying or not identifying the sender and recipients.
As someone who sees a lot of bounces from mailing list traffic, I'm sick of not knowing which addresses are supposed to be removed from the list.
