Your boss is right .. Running SA and installing new rulesets, tuning, instaling plugins and collecting statistics is fun when you are getting the benefit yourself..
If you are going to have a significant number of installations and having to maintain them all yourself, it will take the fun out of it.. Every system needs to have someone to look after it.. New problems arise and have to be solved. However, you should try to contact some Open Source support companys in your area and offer them the possibility to sell a support contract for SA. We had a commercial AntiSpam solution salesmen here recently and the support contracts don“t come cheap .. Around 14000 Euros / Year .. (The product was priced at around 26000 Euros) The commercial solution had a nice feature that allowed Suspected Spam to be put in Quarantine and released by the recipient by menas of daily Reports.. You can find a similar system for SA here http://www.biodef.org/SpamAssassin/Quarantine/ - Rķkharšur -----Original Message----- From: Vermyndax [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 May, 2004 12:15 AM To: SpamAssassin list Subject: Re: [Media] SA vs. Commercial It's not just journalists.
