yeah, price was one of the obvious reasons for trying spam titan. we
have a mix of barracuda and sonicwall email security (formerly
mailfrontier). the barracuda appliance licensing (not per-user) is
pretty affordable. the one caveat with them is that your software
energize updates you purchase do not include any support for hardware
failure...they want you to pay extra for hardware repair/replacement. we
had one barracuda 400 appliance that received a million messages a day
with about 5k of those being legitimate. it handled it well.

Bill, what did you end up using instead? I am not finding many options
cheaper than SpamTitan. 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.

Interesting. 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.

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 been using it for a few years now, running the downloadable
vmware version. 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.
