I'd recommend I Hate Spam over GFI MailEssentials for 1 main reason:
whitelisting and blacklisting

MailEssentials will auto-white list, at a global server level, anyone
you send an e-mail to. =20

I Hate Spam will auto whitelist anyone you a) put in your Contacts, or
b) put an e-mail from in your whitelist folder.

In addition, to that, I Hate Spam lets you maintain individual
Blacklists by putting e-mails in your blacklist folder.  GFI does not
have a feature like this.

Beyond that, both are pretty even in picking up spam from my experience.
GFI has a Bayesian filter feature you can turn on/off, but I Hate Spam
supposedly has a Baysian type filter as well.

Another plus for I Hate Spam is per user licensing (instead of groups of
users like GFI) and individualized spam policies (GFI is 1 setting for
the entire server, and every user on it).  I Hate Spam lets you buy 30
licenses and add 30 users you select.  With GFI, and many other
products, you need to (technicially, to be legal) buy licensing for all
your users.  The benefit to GFI is it's low cost for an unlimited
license however. =20

That's quite a list of features for such a low price point :)

It's not free but GFI Mail essentials will do this.  Everybody gets
their own junk mail folder and you set a rule to direct the spam email
to that folder.  They have tools for you to automate all this from their
software.  All you have to worry about for your clients is Outlook.

They have a 60day trial and some of the features keep working after the
trial.

We have netwroked Spam filters, but they have, no surprise, low success
rate. Does anyone know of Outlook-compatible anti-spam filters that work
on an individual basis, and are easily functional under TS? And
preferably free (Of course:))?
We are using W2k3, non-Citrix, with Outlook 2003.
Nick
PS I use SpamBayes currently, in my non-TS environement, so the question
is specifically about use in TS environement.
