I've spent quite a bit of time implementing a spam filtering solution on
Windows 2000 and Exchange 2000 in our company.
I now have a filter that's about 98% accurate and extremely easy to manage.
In fact, I don't touch the spam filter for management purposes at all. Just
check it every once in a couple of days to make sure everything's working
okay.
I use Vircom's Anti-Spam Gate for trapping spam on Windows 2000 and 3
VBScripts I developed myself for allowing users to release their own
messages whenever and however many times they want. It's been working
flawlessly for a number of months now and I've had very few complaints about
false positives.
It is possible to use an entirely free VBScript based spam filter using
Windows 2000 SMTP "OnArrival" event but it would require an extensive bit of
scripting to get it off the ground. One good aspect of Vircom is that their
software and service is quite reasonable and the spam filter database is
automatically updated every couple of days.

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.
Thank you,
JoeT CCNP
