We have been using MIMEsweeper for SMTP and it's been great!! We've setup
profanity, spam, relay, file type blocking, spoofing, etc. base on Inbound
or Outbound mail. MIMEsweeper is a robust product with lots of flexibility
and very easy to configure which I recommend highly. Their tech support is
also very responsive and knowledgeable. Of course, there are some issues
such as false positives but I rather deal with that than spam.
Of course, test any product to see if it meets your requirements.

I've been using Tumbleweed's Secure Mail Server (MMS 5.0). This product
lets you implement both internal and external Email policies while also
allowing you to exempt selected users from either policy. An added bonus
is
the ability to stop Email viruses, and create secure Email paths to
remote/client sites. FYI the Virus Manager is based on NAI's Virus Engine.

Subject: Email scrubber options? mimesweeper?
I have been (attempting) setting up a sendmail server to receive incoming
emails to the company, scan for spam, take action on it, then let 'good'
email through the firewall to the exchange server. Well now the execs would
like a little more then this. They would like to stop certain things from
being emailed OUT of the company. www.mailsweeper.com seems to have some
decent products to handle this. Looks like it will stop most spam, and
policies for mail going out.
My questions are:
Is there a free way to do this with sendmail or exchange?
Has anyone used the mailsweeper software, and have an opinion?
Will the Boston Bruins ever win another Stanley cup? :)
Thanks,
