iHateSpam became Ninja and is now VIPRE for Exchange. From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 1:49 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Sort of OT: SPAM - should I stick with GFI MailEssentials?
IHateSpam from the sponsor (they renamed it, I've forgotten the new name, but I've got it at several clients) works pretty well. So does Postini. So does websense. All price attractive.

Hi everyone, We recently replaced our AV (McAfee) with Trend for both clients and Exchange 2007 (sorry Sunbelt - we came REALLY close to choosing VIPRE). We did not purchase the spam filtering option with Trend ScanMail, but are now considering it. We've been running GFI MailEssentials for years on a dedicated box. We're protecting between 400 and 500 mailboxes. The price for GFI continues to be attractive, so much so that hosted solutions don't seem to be worth the cost differential... The first logical option to me would be to move toward Trend, but I'm not so sure that adding spam filtering at the Exchange Server level is a good idea from a resource perspective. We were there at one point years ago, with GFI and ended up moving off to a dedicated box, because GFI was eating up too many resources (we were getting HAMMERED with spam - million a month, easily). Has anyone on this list moved away from GFI to something else? If so, what did you move to and what was your reasoning? I welcome any and all thoughts/suggestions/experiences. TIA, Jonathan L.
