I will see if I can dig up our report. My boss had asked me this question and I found facts on both Novell and M$'s site. In 6 years, we have yet to see a virus hit our GroupWise system [knock on wood]. The down of GroupWise is slim to none compared to that of Exchange. The fact that GroupWise connects only to GroupWise servers [and not public pop3 accounts] has had quite the bonus by users not contaminating their GroupWise accounts. There are numbers on both Novell's and M$'s sites that would be useful to you but I will see what I can Dig Up.
