We were about to start our Domino 8 upgrade this weekend with our admin servers, when I discovered that Symantec for Domino does NOT support ND8. They say it will be at the earliest “sometime this fall”.
What do I do? Back off the installation? What did the rest of you who are running 8 do? Anyone know what IBM does for antivirus?
Thanks

Subject: Symantec Mail Security
We are running Symantec Mail Security 7.5 for Domino which does support Domino 8.x
Currently we have the above (version 7.5.4.29) on our Domino 8 servers.
The only issue we had was to change our content filtering rules to use literal string instead of regular expression for the rules to work properly.

Trend Micro’s ScanMail supports 8.x

Have you had any issues with Trend on a mixed mail/apps server?
Thanks for the information.

Subject: Such as? Did you have some specific concern?
Subject: Scanmail
I am running Scanmail with pretty good reliability and the support I’ve received on any issues I’ve had are pretty spot on.
Did you also check you backup situation? I had to upgrade mine - CA’s Backup product name of the week had to go to version 12…

Thank you also for your quick reply. I’ll look into this one also.
I’m not sure if you were directing the backup question to me, but supposedly Symantec backup exec supports ND8

I am not sure who told you Symantec Mail Security does not support ND8 but it is certified on Domino 8.0.1.
