Lawrence,
We have installed and configured MIIMEsweeper at a few sites now. The
lag time is minimal for 95% of e-mail traffic. It really does fly
through the system if the system is configured with enough memory and
disk space. Obviously the larger the attachment for unravelling the
longer it takes. This is marginal in terms of the overall delivery time
of e-mail generally.
As for configuration, the position of MIMEsweeper for the sites we have
consulted in is directly behind the firewall in front of the SMTP
gateway(s) for the corporation. For the most part the configuration is
virus scanning, User authentication and automatic replies set for
certain mail captured i.e. Virus detect, Unreadable data, User not
authorised etc...
Users will not see the delay unless of course their e-mail is
quarantined or bounced.
