from TFA (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/03/anti_spam_run_off/ ): 'McAfee's Email & Web Security Appliance was alone in achieving the level needed for VBSpam Platinum certification' [...] 'Five products performed well enough to be awarded VBSpam Gold awards [...] including [..] McAfee's Email Gateway (formerly IronMail) software.' so the ex-IronMail product is still a different product. they tend to not do such a great job in product line consolidation, in my experience... ;) -- --j.
