Is there a way to set Vstream to scan webmail (Such as MSN/Hotmail) or is this a bad idea?.... Or scan mail sent through the Outlook Connector ... Im wondering if scanning HTTPS requests would be a bad idea..

Hi,

It makes little sense to scan HTTPS traffic, since the traffic is encrypted, the VStream antivirus engine cannot see the actual information that is sent and received.

Yes indeed, but is there a way to make Z100G do the SSL handshake betwen you and the webmail server... in that way you can achieve what you want. I know this stuff is possible in other appliance solutions (mostly enterprise appliance solutions)
