Joe, Look at SpamAssassin (http://www.spamassassin.org). I was a little skeptical but it really does work ... especially if you use the blacklist checks and Bayesian classifier. If the product believes a message is spam it will create a report explaining why it is spam and place the original message as an attachment.
It will also change the subject and add some simple X-headers so you can sort your mail based upon the subject or header. I have Outlook dump all spam messages in a separate folder. Then about once a day I go in and quickly delete the spam. I went from so much spam that legitimate e-mails were being lost to spam is not a problem. It has had such a high level of accuracy that I am considering have the messages delete at the server instead of downloading then deleting. I have not done so maybe because deep down I get some sort of weird satisfaction watching all of the spam mail I receive being dumped harmlessly into it's own directory then in one quick flick of the wrist deleting it all. I am assuming you are using a Unix/Linux based mail server. I have no idea if it will work on a Windows 2000 server platform. Oh, and I forgot the best point ... it is FREE!

Taylor Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 4:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT: SPAM Filtering [7:72265] Team, Our company is being bothered by SPAM. We only have about fifty employees. I need to look into SPAM filtering. I don't know if we'd benefit from an hardware appliance along with a content filter. Perhaps, WebSense and applications of this nature would be good. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone that has working knowledge of these applications.
