I thought the same at first, but they do let you manage a great deal of config. We just wanted to get a feel for what this kind of service offered. We stuck with in house.

It means that I am relying on THEM to determine what is and is not spam, and I am relying on THEM to scan my e-mail for viruses. I don't like doing either - I would much rather be in control of both of those options. It may mean a little more work for me, but it also means that everything is customized to my environment. I doubt that there is much flexibility from them in changing the options that are already set up...

For the whole shebang (a/s, a/v, dis recovery; i.e. they hold all our mail until we get back online), it came to around $5K per year. Heck, the way Trend's been upping their maintenance fees just for a/v, it almost seems a bargain.

We had them in for a meeting today. They offer both an anti-spam and an anti-virus service. MX records are changed to point to Sprint servers where the mail is then subjected to their a/s and a/v software.
