Title: re possible virus attack
Post by: Greg on October 11, 2002, 10:43:11 AM

Can anyone tell me how suseptable to virus attack the SME server is where Webmail is NOT used. The server is used for internal network and as a web server. Is there a particular way these viruses enter other than inserting disks and CDroms etc?

Can I assume the threat is very minimul?

TIA
GREG

Considering about three viruses have EVER been written for linux boxes, against the multiple thousands written for windows, and the vulnerabilities for linux were patched in a matter of hours, I'd say you'd be pretty well happy even WITH webmail enabled.
After all, it's not a Microsoft product....
