[THIN] Re: Free Anti-Spam Service

Quite interesting.  We here use, recommend, and sell MXLogic service.
 It's not free, but it is very effective in what it does.

I'm curious to think what most consultants/VARs say about using a
Spam/AV service rather than an internal product (i.e. TrendMicro IMSS
or Symantec AV/Spam Gateway, etc).
