Well, like I said, a 3rd party solution which is a monthly fee may be
something to look at. That is of course if the management does not object to
you're companies e-mail flowing through an offsite server first. But then
again, it does that anyways on the Internet.

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.

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?

Anyone have any points they'd care to share as to why they'd choose one of
these products over the other? 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. 

 

Thanks
