Exchange does just fine killing the right spam. It just requires more time and effort.
I think you'd be better off using an 'edge' server running Postfix/spamassassin/openrbl, but that too requires a little time and effort.

Anyone out there used ASSP for Anti-spams? I've been giving a budget of "Exchange should do this natively" and the request "Exchange is not doing a good enough job at killing the right spam" http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/assp/index.php?title=Exchange_2007 Any other options for what I need?

They will let you try it for free for 30 days, too, so you can see if it's a fit for you.

Go for it! The reason for us to buy a PineApp instead of a Ironport was the price. Ironport is better but much more expensive. Although we are quite satisfied with our Pineapp. Greetz Tim Van: Fergal O'Connell [mailto:foconn...@curamsoftware.com] Verzonden: vrijdag 18 september 2009 9:07 Aan: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Onderwerp: RE: Ironport or Proofpoint? +3 Installed Iron Port a few years and have not touched it since.

I work for an Ironport reseller and we perform tons of these installations. We do not have one unsatisfied customer with this appliance. It is by far the Mercedes of SPAM/AV/SMTP Gateways. +2 From: Leedy, Andy [mailto:ale...@butlerahs.com] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 11:42 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Ironport or Proofpoint? Any insights or preferences if you had to choose between Ironport or Proofpoint? They both look like good products, but the salesmen always say their product is superior. I wonder which one does better job at filtering and which provides the best support. When it comes down to it, I'm looking for ease of manageability and effectiveness of filtering. Any thoughts or insights are appreciated (even a simple +1 vote for either one would be helpful).
