-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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).
