But maybe I have not tightened up my settings enough. I find the explanations at Microsoft confusing. What settings do you use on IMF that give you good results? And sender-connection filtering? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Schorr Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 12:22 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Is anyone using Symantec/Brightmail for anti-virus/anti-spam? What version of Exchange are you using? If it's 2003 have you already installed IMF? It's not perfect, but I've gotten pretty good results with a combination of IMF and sender/connection filtering considering the price. Obviously this is anti-spam only and doesn't address your a/v needs. If you haven't tried it yet I'd suggest giving it a go and see what the results are. If they're good enough then you solved your spam issue for free. If not, then you can still go get Brightmail or I Hate Spam or whatever 3rd party product you want to get. Ben M.

Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 7:14 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Is anyone using Symantec/Brightmail for anti-virus/anti-spam? It is time for us to update our Exchange e-mail anti-virus protection and I wondered if I should add the Symantec Brightmail to the mix as a combo. It appears to be under $20 per user for the combo. We are a private, non-profit and the bottom line is always important, but the top folks are sick and tired of spam (aren't we all?) and I thought I could get this one by easily. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
