Title: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: enterprise Spam blocking products

That sounds like a great product!   What really amazes me is how much depth of knowledge an Active Directory mailing list has around messaging products.  I'm in awe of the depth of knowledge :)   I think it's valuable to ask a question here.  What is it that you really need to do with the spam blocking?  Do you want to block it?  Re-route it?  What?   Is RBL important to you?  Outsourcing even an option?  Something that's Exchange aware or stand-alone at the gateway?  What would it take to consider the solution you pick to be a successful "solution"? Is cost a factor?  Is availability?  What about the company's reputation?  Financial good standing?  What percentage of spam has to be caught to be successful?  What is your tolerance for false positives?   I ask, because there are so many levels and anti-spam products out there that you really need to narrow it down much more to be effective.  The solutions range in price and functionality from opensource to built-in to outsourced to ludicrous amounts of money.  They also require various amounts of on-going effort to be successful (once you've defined successful of course).     From: Rick Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 3:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] OT: enterprise Spam blocking products A low cost solution that sits on an exchange server or relay   xwall I have installed on 13 customers servers so far, works great. Does real time black list, and attachment type blocking costs under $ 400   http://www.dataenter.co.at/products/xwall.htm   the highest rate of blocking we have seen is a site with 120 users, catches 2-3000 spam messages a day.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Strand, Ted To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 11:36 AM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: enterprise Spam blocking products Look at MXLogic  www.mxlogic.com  they have a great outsourced service that sits in front of your mail system.  Catching tons of SPAM. -Ted-   -----Original Message----- From: Rod Trent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 2:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: enterprise Spam blocking products Outlook 2003 does a great job at handling Spam. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Fuller, Stuart Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 2:05 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: enterprise Spam blocking products Jason, Two possible solutions to consider: 1. Cloudmark SpamNet - this runs locally on the client and automagically moves spam from the inbox to a "spam" folder. See http://www.cloudmark.com/ 2. Hardware based Spam appliance - this device sits in front of your mail gateways and filters the mail before it even hits Exchange.  Users get a daily email report so that they can see what has been blocked and have an opportunity to request the blocked mail.  An example of this is Espion's Interceptor appliance - see http://www.espionintl.com/interceptor.html -Stuart -----Original Message----- From: Jason Benway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 11:34 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: enterprise Spam blocking products I started testing different spam products for our company. I'm testing GFI right now. I'm really like Ihatespam Gateway edition, but it has limitations because of CDO. What I'm looking for a software that will move "spam" into a user's folder other than the inbox without the user having to setup a filter in outlook. I would also like for the user to have the ability to 'tell' the software when it missed a spam message or incorrect tags a message as spam. I would prefer a product that does not run directly on the Exchange box. We are currently running Exchange 5.5 in a cluster. I know I'm asking a lot, but I thought will everyone's help I could find a product that is close.
