We're a small organization (90 bed rural hospital) and our dept is, of course, small, too. Their's just 7 of us and that includes director and supervisor. But because of other duties I'm pretty much in charge of servers, email admin, patch mgmt, firewall, etc. So, part of me, said hey that's not too bad; let somebody else handle that burden.

We just wanted to get a feel for what this kind of service offered. We stuck with in house. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Winzenz Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 3:13 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Sprint Email Services:anti-spam/anti-virus Here's the only problem I have with ANY service like that. 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.
