Same here, but this was before NG with a Symantec product.
At the end, we decided to create a standalone gateway (with the Symantec
product) where all the scanning would take place for incoming and outgoing
emails.
That was done because our enormous amount of e-mails, that worked good for
us.

Check Point has historically had problems with CVP...or at least I did.
CVP would always break. Actually, it's not the CVP protocol that is
breaking, but rather Check Point Security Server that would "break". In all
cases, it just required a reboot of the firewall. But this can be a huge
problem in some environments.

I had approximately the same results with SMTP and Interscan Virus wall
under CVP. I would periodically just quite receiving mail and need to
restart the FW server. In retrospect I think this may have been an issue
with kernel memory depletion but I'm not really sure.

Unfortunately Trend's support is pretty much useless on the subject of CVP.
The answer every time was have you tried upgrading to a newer build and if I
had they would tell me it should work. No amount of additional questioning
would get another answer. Checkpoint's support was more helpful but I gave
up before I ever got a solution. I am planning on rebuilding my Trend server
in CVP mode again in about a month to see if my move from NG to NG AI (R55)
or moving to the newest version of Interscan will improve this. I really
liked CVP mode when it worked.

Overall I like the Trend software but the support leaves me with the
impression that they have only one goal and that is to get off of the phone
and on to the next customer.

Hello.
Working with Interscan Viruswall in CVP mode gave us a lot of problems,
mainly with mail stuck in a queue.
The HTTP and FTP scanning are very problematic when using CVP.

I really recommend not using CVP, and working with Viruswall (or InterScan
Messaging Security Suite) in stand-alone mode. It works perfectly with no
issues at all.
