Erm... If you only filter hatemail / inappropriate language / spam / viruses on the gateway, your internal employees can then send hatemail / inappropriate language / spam / viruses. Hence the Exchange store product and the separate gateway product. Use the gateway to keep the junk from the Internet from hitting you, and use the Exchange store product to do it internally, if you have a mandate. Many companies do.

My somewhat limited knowledge would think that's bad. So is it safe to assume that as I look at product, because it's a gateway product, that it doesn't need to be software specific cause I'll never be actually installing exchange 5.5 on my antispam server? -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 11:43 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: the spam product question Because some people want that I guess... -----Original Message----- From: Hansen, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 10:29 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: the spam product question Our scenario is 1 5.5 mailbox server, 1 5.5 SMTP server, and a recently aquired "ANTISPAM" server. This will be the gateway. So am I bound by exchange 5.5 still since I'm not actually going to install it on the exchange server or the smtp server? I would think not, but I'm not sure. And if I don't need a product specific then why do they have for example Symantec Filtering for Exchange, and things like that? e- -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 11:22 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: the spam product question What you want to do is get something that runs as a gateway rather than on the mail server. That will negate any issues of compatibility and keep the stuff from ever getting near the Exchange box. -----Original Message----- From: Hansen, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 10:12 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: the spam product question I know I know I know, this questions has been asked a million times. My question has a small but important twist. We don't content filter our email here. Now they want to, even though we are less then 6 months away from a Exchange 2000 and/or Exchange .Net migration, but they want to do it anyway. I'm looking for the best spam filter that will run on 5.5 but then will also run on 2000. I dug through the archives a bit but didn't see this addressed. On a side note... They should really add the "what anti-spam product should I use?" question to the faq.
