We're quite happy with FrontBridge's service here.

We sell MessageLabs here.
Definitely prefer a managed service rather than third party software on
a machine.

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).

>
> The 24/7 service uses multiple gateway filters that are updated every

> archive files as well as uncompressed ones.
>
> If the customer's mail server becomes unavailable, Netriplex stores
> e-mail for up to seven days, after which it can forward to another
> location. Storage is only for disaster recovery purposes, and customer

> distribute, or alter e-mail beyond filtering for unwanted content.

> Netriplex anti-spam is rapidly deployed by modification of the MX

> The free service covers one domain and 5,000 inbound e-mails per month
