My only experience with BrightMail has been as a "user" behind a large corporate firewall with all inbound/outbound mail redirected through SMTP. Maybe they had it misconfigured or something, but I was not impressed. The mail server I ran for the organization unit I was in caught a ton of spam that made it through the brightmail filters. After hearing several good reviews of BrightMail I'm forced to conclude the IT people running the corporate filter had cocked it up somehow. --[Lance] -- Celebrate The Circle http://www.celebratethecircle.org/ Carolina Spirit Quest http://www.carolinaspiritquest.org/ My LiveJournal http://www.livejournal.com/users/labrown/ GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9A82 F2AC 69AC 07B9 CACert.org Assurer -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
