RE: [Bulk] RE: GFI - Ugh
We are using Proofpoint as well. The only issue I can see is that if you send notices to users, the average user is going to find it too complicated to figure out how to release and/or Safelist. We have stopped sending daily notices to users as a result.

RE: GFI - Ugh
Hi guys, Thank you for all of your opinions and help, including off-list. I wanted to give you an update, since I should report the good with the bad. The bad was the way this was handled by GFI in the first place. That was explained in my first email. But the good is that a couple of different people from GFI spoke with me today and we have cleared this up. They are going to credit me the money they charged me. So, I wanted to thank them publicly for taking the time to explain their position and to help make this right. Evan ___ Evan A.

RE: GFI - Ugh
I would suggest getting an external appliance. We use IronPort and are happy with it. As far as the comments about GFI/Sunbelt, I will say that my general experiences with GFI used to be great and have gone downhill since they merged with Sunbelt.
