RE: Corporate spam filter

["Jones, John \(US\)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For an integrated appliance that does anti-spam and provides a host of
optional other services in a single box, check out Internet Security
System's Proventia M series appliances at
http://www.iss.net/products_services/enterprise_protection/proventia/m_s
eries.php .  Data sheet:
http://documents.iss.net/literature/proventia/ProventiaM50andM30_Datashe
et.pdf .  The other services include firewall, VPN, Intrusion
Prevention, AV, web filtering, and spyware blocking.  And you can get
reporting out of it so it may prove useful when the auditors ask how
you're securing your network.

They're a nice all-in-one for branch offices or smaller offices that
want to provide a full range of services without adding multiple
devices.  Not that expensive, either.

We don't use this particular ISS device, but we do use other ISS
appliances and their IDS software on our Windows machines.

If you decide to check them out, let me know off-list and I'll forward
our rep's contact info.
