Does anyone know if Fortinet on-board virus scanning uses an SMTP proxy server? 
Or is it able to accomplish this transparently by simply inspecting the packets 
as most the IDS/IPS do.

We just purchased a new Proventia M10 from ISS and have discovered that we 
cannot use it for Anti-Virus (email) or Anti-Spam due the ffact that it uses an 
on-board SMTP proxy server that does not support SMTP authentication among 
other issues. The IPS module does not need the proxy and works fine.  Having 
on-board virus scanning at the network edge would be very helpful and Fortinet 
docs would make you think it is ALL done with packet inspection and without any 
nasty proxies in the middle. Does anyone know how this works?

TIA,
Don
