http://www.altn.com/ offers Mdaemon, an in-house email platform. I have
personaly been using it for 6 years and am very happy with its anti-spam and
anti-virus capability. It also has the option for a groupware addon that
gives it a exchange shared folders type of use. I'll attach the last weekly
report of what it handled as far as spam and viruses, this particular server
services about 1400 accounts, open with wordpad. Also, note that the spam
rejected is what was determined spam before the bayesian filter is even
used. (blacklisted ip's, known spam ip's, hosts that their domain keys don't
match, quite a few other things. The "spam accepted" tells what got
determined spam after it was read through the Bayesian filtering, and
subsequently, placed in the users "Junk-Mail" folder available via web mail
or IMAP.
It does the job, and does it very well. I *Might* get 2 messages that are
spam and about 1 false positive a month.
I like being able to troubleshoot a problem when it's in my server room
rather in a data center, but I rarely have any problems. Outsourcing = no
control.

Hi Folks,
As a Diamond Reseller for Barracuda Networks, we take the pain out of
dealing with issues the best we can for our customers. The issue of selling
a used Barracuda is like a lot of hardware vendors. It varies on which
entity you are dealing with as to the answer you will get.
We move customers off Postini regularly due to issues they have them, so
it depends what side of the coin you are looking at. (Only the experienced
walk with a limp)
We also take the pain of ownership out for folks and filter e-mail for
WISP's as they frequently need a lower cost solution.
Cheers,
-Dee
