For Northwestern Michigan College's mail system administrator, dealing with viruses and spam is a significant job responsibility. Each day brings a flood of junk e-mail, messages with obvious and not-so-obvious viruses attached, and increasingly, messages with large files such as MP3s and other media files attached, presenting system management headaches, and consuming system bandwidth and storage capacity.
Dan Wasson, NMC Systems and LAN Management Coordinator, has worked with Novell GroupWise since the product's early WordPerfect* days. He remembers when life was simpler for administrators. "Our group supports 550-600 GroupWise mailboxes to meet the collaborative needs of NMC faculty, adjunct faculty and staff. That's always been the easy part," he quips. "GroupWise just runs. It's the other stuff that's been problematic."
Solution
?The primary reason we chose GWAVA was to extend our current anti-virus protection with extension blocking to stop unwanted or virus-infected email from getting to end users in the first place,? says Wasson. ?Viruses, spam, and large e-mail file attachments are an ongoing problem, even in our GroupWise environment. GWAVA works with our current anti-virus software to meet all our requirements for securing GroupWise 6 mail services for the benefit of Northwestern Michigan College faculty, adjunct faculty and staff.?
