So far I've viewed what feels like at least 50 spam filter links and I've basically left it at that. The idea of preventing all spam from entering the network is a good dream but this is starting point. Like I said a small office with less than 50 users; no need to break the bank. So something that can be implemented and that simply works. -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff (Lists) [mailto:johnlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 4:04 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: iHateSpam vs GFI http://www.MSExchange.org/ 1. You will never prevent all spam from getting to users inboxes without false positives. Do not let any one tell you different. 2. They are both good products, although one has very loud marketing. 3. I have trialed GFI, and the included keylists created a lot of false positives "out of the box." 4. The war on spam is not simple nor cheap. 5. Since you only have 25 users, have you thought about using a 3rd party in what is called E-Mail Gateway service or Store and Forward service?

The need is to have a centralized spam filter that prevents any and all spam from making it to the users inbox. Also don't want to have to sit and add entry after entry of items to be filtered. GFI wins on the pricing being that I only have 25 users. I really would like to know how most feel on this.
