AdrianPurnama Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Many web hosting providers already provide Virus Protection for email. Do TCH have a plan to implement Virus Protection in the future ? If you do, when will you implement that ? Best Regards, Adrian
TCH-Bruce Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 There are no plans currently to offer virus scanning of email, sorry.
stevevan Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Adrian: For what it's worth, even if my host DID have "virus protection" for email, I'd still run and continuously update my own.
carbonize Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 As Steve says it's always safer to run your own. The same applies to spam filtering.
Prel Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 Hi, I understand that, One anti-virus system in the Server and another one in the Station, must be better only that in the correct Station. The same for Anti Spam they system.
carbonize Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 Personally I am against companies running serverside virus checking and spam filtering because 1 - You never know what mail they are rejecting or 2 - If they do notify you, and if you are lucky, you then have to login to a website to change settings and say what is allowed and what is not.
Deverill Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 That's true, Carbonize. Here at work we have a virus solution... we spend more time releasing legit emails than we would deleting spam.
AdrianPurnama Posted December 1, 2005 Author Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) As Steve says it's always safer to run your own. The same applies to spam filtering. I think using both AV systems (server-side and client-side) still a better solution, since most people in my place almost never update their antivirus.

Deverill Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 True, but... It's up to everyone to be safe and to take precautions. Few would expect Disney World to hand out Dramamine to keep folks from throwing up on the roller coasters Besides, for $4.00 per month basic plan I'd not expect a multi-thousand dollar AV solution. Of course I didn't expect MySQL, Cpanel, etc, etc. which TCH provides us either.

I'm not a "licensing" expert, but if you use linux/unix-based server, I think you can use GPL-based AV software, such as ClamAV.
TCH-Bruce Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 We have already stated TCH does not offer it at this time. Thread closed.
