This is real easy to shoot down and show your clients why they will not want this "solution".

Question: What happens when your clients gets an automated email from a hotel/airline reservation system? An automated email from their stock trading company? Confirmation of an order from Amazon, etc, etc, etc...

Answer: They will NEVER get those email messages.

If you don't want to purchase an additional anti-spam (MXGuard, IMGate. Declude, etc...) solution for your Imail server you can tweak the built-in IMail anti-spam settings to be quite efficient.

That is all that we do and we are finding (stats current as of midnight last night) that 93% of the mail coming in-bound to us is spam and our false positive rate is only 0.10% (31 falsely identified as being spam) out of 33,698 emails received over the past 10 work days. Certainly there are false negatives that still get through (I average about 15 a day myself) but 31,343 were deleted/blocked.

We have yet to have a SINGLE client complain about not receiving an email they were expecting.

Can iMail do this?

I've gotten requests from clients that would like to offer or obtain
the same level of spam screening. They would like to send out a one
item auto-responder, then review the response in a form. If the person
is one they would like to allow to send them email them accept the
submission. If not they deny, Then there is a database of accepted
names that allow only those emails through. All others are rejected.
Merits? Declude type add on as a gateway? Anyone else using this?

example:


Subject: Re: FW: Regarding listing # 38425 I apologize for this automatic reply to your email. To control spam, I now allow incoming messages only from senders I have approved beforehand. If you would like to be added to my list of approved senders, please fill out the short request form (see link below). Once I approve you, I will receive your original message in my inbox. You do not need to resend your message. I apologize for this one-time inconvenience.
