Hey all...
I'm getting pretty fed up with the vast numbers of spams that reach my server -- and my hosted sites. Could someone offer, is there a BEST item to buy and install to help block out the floods we seem to be getting, ie the thousands a day of stupid spams? I run windows 2k3SP2, IIS6, MEPro (latest ver) and I wonder what "else" I could add to that to help. I already do check with most of the up and running blacklists...but is there something "else" I could add? What do the rest of you all do? Surely while I dont' expect to "win the war" I'd sure like to cut down on the battles I seem to be losing.... ? Jim |

We have a sister company that uses Postini and they say they don't ever see going anywhere else.
Our company looked into this but it gets expensive quickly when cost is per user for e-mail and per system for content filtering. I don't know how Postini would work in a hosted environment though. The part we had researched was Active Directory/Exchange integration but I would think they could support any type of e-mail system. Just throwing out something that came to my mind first. |

I'll second Postini.
An ISP I worked for used it. It integrated into our SMTP/POP mail servers for customers, and also into our corporate exchange environment. Whats nice about it, is the web interface that clients can get to, so that they can modify their own spam settings. |
