The company that I work for is installing an AS/400 to run Domino in our U.S. offices. The current plan is to use MAILsweeper on a separate server to scan inbound mail for viruses and content. What I would like to know is, is there a program available to do this on the AS/400 without haing to use a seperate server?

Although Domino itself runs in the native or Java modes of the /400 because of scalability, there is no reason why you could not run this virusscan in the Intel mode of the /400. That is, the embedded Windows machine with a separate Intel board. This can share files with the other modes, so (at the expense of complicating the Domino setup a bit) it must be possible to have the inbound mail NSF accessible (read/write, for removing infected mail also!) for this Intel-application. It is not a 'separate server' but it costs extra hardware in the /400.
Of course even preferable would be a native-mode virusscanner, but I'm not aware of one.

Hope this helps,

Trend Micro at http://trendmicro.co.uk has a product called Scanmail for Lotus Notes that is supported on the IBM AS/400 V4R2 and above platforms. This product has gotten good reviews in the past.

Good luck
