Just Installed AntiGen 9.0 SP2 for SMTP Gateaways.. A lot of new Engines.. Which one to choose from?
- I was satisfied with SpamCure, but with SP2, i now have 10 engines, should i enable them all? Or i should just use spamcure? Is there a doc somewhere explaining what all those engines are doing?

- Hi,
which engines are available you will find at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/forefront/serversecurity/dd940095.aspx
Spamcure and other engines will be discontinued by december. So there are only Cloudmark for antispam and Authentium, Kaspersky, Microsoft, Norman and Virusbaster for Antimalware availabe.
I wouldn't enable all of the antimalware engines because that would cause too much load. I would enable the Cloudmark engine for antispam and only 3-4 from the antimalware engines and use different engines on the exchange so you have more security.
If you have any further questions please let me know.
