We tried Untangle but found it couldn't handle our load and reporting and customizing options were very limited. It is very much a "black box".

I'm no Linux guru but it was pretty easy to setup and get going for my evaluation. http://www.untangle.com/spam-blocker Roger Wright ___ "Never make hard what you can make easy." - Fred W.

It is around one tenth of the price of our current solution. I have 4,000 Exchange mailboxes and SpamTitan is showing a max of 2,100 so I must have a lot of people who don't use Internet e-mail.

Having only one domain and a very simple setup, generally just one email address per user, I just didn't run into any of these issues. Good input. ________________________________ From: Bill Humphries [mailto:nt...@hedgedigger.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2010 12:29 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Spam Titan I tried it for a bit but ran into problems with licensing that was a headache for our internal small deployment. I bought what they referred to as a fifty "user" license...but what they really mean is email addresses. So if you have multiple distribution group email addresses those will count also. And if you have a domain that you don't want to do LDAP lookups against, then be prepared for every email address to that domain to eat up a user license. This was really annoying because I wanted to also push my personal domain email through it and let it just filter and forward to the mail server. But because I didn't use ldap on that domain it would eat up licensing. But the really, really annoying thing was that when you exceeded licensing it would eventually completely lock you out of the management interface and stop sending quarantine emails until you contacted the company.

I've had very good success with it - very few false positives, almost nothing gets through that shouldn't. Easy interface for users to manage their white and block lists, as well as searching their quarantine. For me, once I got it set up it just runs and I harldy ever mess with it. One thing you can't do is teach it by submitting false negatives, but it hasn't been a problem since we get so few. There was a review in WinIT Pro magazine recently if you are interested. http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/messaging/Review-SpamTitan.aspx ________________________________ From: Steve Hart [mailto:sh...@wrightbg.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 12:20 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Spam Titan Anyone have any experience with Spam Titan? --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist Confidentiality Notice: ****************** This communication, including any attachments, may contain confidential information and is intended only for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
