Just implemented MailFrontier 2 weeks ago, appliance based filter. Two gateways, each gateway processes max 50k messages hr. Performance is great, we process about 25k messages hr. Virus scanning is great, as we have our old mail sweeper server still doing virus scanning to compare the two. It's not reporting any viruses that Mail frontier has allowed in. We still get few SPAM come in, but the neat thing is you forward the SPAM message (which they encourage you to do) so they can write the signature and have it available to download. Based on linux kernel, good end user administration, as they can manage their white\black lists, view junk email etc through web page. Summary reports are sent to their inbox with link to access these features. ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brian Pituley Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 1:35 AM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [ExchangeList] Spam Filter I'm getting excellent results with a Barracuda spam/virus firewall.

What is the current feeling on anti-spam products for Exchange? I've gone from using nothing, to Exchange IMF, to Symantec products etc... And am just curious what others feel is the best and most cost-effective solution. Thanks much! Lee Swanson Watertown, SD
