Sure thing, I saw a great presentation on their Fortinet
WiFi-60(correct name?) up here in seattle at a local ISSA meeting.
Very cool device, and if I had the money, I'de get one to put in my
house.

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
