Solely because the support for Trend on IBM i is a joke.
- They only support an ancient version of Trend.
- They only support ancient versions of the OS.
- They charge you extra for this atrocity.
The goal is to be a line of defence for "zero day" viruses missed by
Message Labs. I don't think we want to be running old crap.
Trend didn't catch a virus in years that was missed by Message Labs and I
really don't expect it to. But we have to "do something". We've had a
few zero day virus' get through lately. And when the CEO opens that zip
file and get whammed...
Right now it's just our domino partitions running SMTP. We use dedicated
dpars named INTERNOTES* (01, ...) for these.
We'll probably also put trend on other windows based domino servers which
will be replicas of existing IBM i servers simply to run dbscan's on them
to scan the databases for zero day type of viruses which may have made it
into files.
