RE: Filtering Spam
Hi Daniel, Just some additional points to keep in mind. Ninja is tightly integrated with Exchange. That does have a few advantages, first of all you are able to create a spam mailbox right in Outlook and all spam gets filtered right in that box with the major advantage your users do not have to go somewhere else (web-interface) to check on quarantined email. Second, they can create their own allow- and blocklists, so determine what should go through. All this was done to keep your admin time to a minimum - actually half compared to other product. And that is worth something. See this white paper by Osterman that explains the benefits: http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/documents/ninja-email-security-comparing- email-management-systems-that-protect-against-spam-viruses-malware-phish ing-attacks.pdf TinyUrl: http://tinyurl.com/dj5d5r Warm regards, Stu Sjouwerman Founder, VP Marketing.

Re: Filtering Spam
We use a combination of Amavisd, Clamd and PostFix on our mail servers at our colo facility to scan for virus first, then spam before the mail is routed to our Exchange server internally. We use Centos as our flavor of *nix on these servers. As with most *nix solutions, free except for the time to learn/configure, but it does work very well. When we implemented this a couple of years ago, we actually got phone calls and emails from users thanking us for whatever it was that we did because they weren't getting spam anymore.

RE: Filtering Spam
Ok, I'll consider myself suitably chastised for using the word worthless - oh, that's right, I DID NOT use that word - unless of course worthless is a synonym for free - in which case, I'm not sure I'd consider using worthless software. Seriously, I only meant to indicate that a collection of free software like what was mentioned would likely take more (likely far more) setup/tuning time than a purchased system and that the installer/admin/support person's time makes it not exactly free. One of the great things about this list is (I think) the opportunity to agree to disagree. -Original Message- From: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 10:03 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Filtering Spam On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 12:35 PM, Sam Cayze sam.ca...@rollouts.com wrote: I think the point was that the above sounds like a extended nightmare to many of us (At least me), compared to something like clicking Next, Next, Ok, Finish with something like Ninja.

Daniel, I have deployed Untangle at many client sites that run SBS. They also have a great package for Schools, but that is not free. Their basic package is, runs on x86 hardware that you may have laying around. For a production environment, I order up a no OS Dell from their outlook site with a 3 year NBD warranty. Complete solution for less than $600. Check them out.

RE: filtering spam
Guys, I have an idea: Since valid e-mail addresses are traded among spammers, why not invalidate your e-mail address? What I mean is, you could probably write an add-on that would create and send fake NDRs, causing your address to appear invalid and thusly be deleted from their dbs. I don't have the time, nor the skills to write it myself, so if anyone wants to use the idea, just send me $1bn or a thank you note.

Check out Message Inspector from
Elron SW. It "reads" the email and scores it based on criteria you
set. So even if the word sex was in the body it could potentially flag
it as spam.

Essentials doesn't have that option, but I'll be looking for that on what

management sent out a memo stating that IT would be blocking those kinds of

You
are absolutely right Martin, the domains are forged, change frequently
the from email addresses are faked also. Get some kind of
content filtering software. Currently I use Mail Essentials from
GFI, but will be migrating to a Linux flavored software that is going to
be much more configurable when I learn how to configure it
:)
I
have a Sherry Abercrombie Porn Filter list you're absolutely right,
it is entirely too disgusting to post publicly. Just wait until
someone at your companyreceives a porn email that has NO text in it
at all that will trigger the filtering, it's just a bunch of pictures,
ouch. I took a lot of heat on that one until I got the person that
received it to understand that our content filtering is only for text, not
pictures.

You are wasting

I
have recently started playing with content filtering. I pulled out a

is working great. Ill bet we are

SPAM.

I just
have my user's forward the email header information or not delete it and go look
myself.
I take
the domain closest to the originator and block that and all the sub
domains.
That
seems to have gotten MOST of the offensive stuff. Periodically I add a few
more.
Of
course, I currently have a relatively small environment with only a few hundred
people.
Now,
originally they would just forward the entire message to me, wiping out header
info and causing the occassional discomfort. :)
