RE: Corporate spam filter

["Reinardy, James" <jreinardy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doug,

We use an appliance from Barracuda Networks (www.barracudanetworks.com)
that we have had in place for a few years.  It is hard to find a more
affordable solution, and it has worked very well for us. It sits in
front of our mail server, so it does not care what platform that is.
The unit consistently blocks about 60% of our incoming mail with no
false positives that we are aware of.  I think the third party solutions
probably do a better job with viruses, we run another gateway product
for virus scanning as well.  However, if your primary interest is spam,
I would at least look at them.  I have no connection to the company,
other than being a satisfied customer.

Jim Reinardy,

Subject: Corporate spam filter

In the past, I've seen messages here about people using various things
as a corporate wide spam filter, but I'm not finding those threads in
the archives.

One previous recommendation was using a third party managed email filter
company, but I can't find archives references to who was recommended.

This client is currently running the OS/400 smtp server, with Byteware
Standguard for anti-virus.  I don't think they'd be too open to a Linux
box as an email filter, because they don't have anyone on staff familiar
with it.

What are other people recommending?

Doug
