We currently use Postini, and it's weird trusting a 3rd party (no Google) to take care of SPAM/Antivirus. Both here and where I used to work, we relied on Postini and they do a good job. That's just my two cents on a 3rd party email Spam solution. As far as full endpoint protection, Sonicwall is rock solid and it can also do Spam, but we're currently only doing GW antivirus, spyware, limiting sites and bandwidth usage. And then on the client/servers we're running Trend which also does spyware/antivirus/anti phishing. We've found this solution to work well for a 120 employee company. Earlier when the housing business was better, we had 240 users, which also worked great. Just a side note, as we're sort of talking traffic and mail... Anyone out there using OutDisk for Outlook / Exchange? We have abusers here who email 100 MB files. And as they are "upper management", putting restrictions have been met with "Resistance is futile". OutDisk looks cool, as it offloads the files to an FTP site rather than placing it in our ever-growing MEGA Information Store. ** Thanks to the person who posted the link for Untangle! My boss's charity needed something just like that!

Put all the administration in someone else's hands. Spam, junk mail, virus', etc are always changing and it's very tiring. I've been with ElectricMail for 2 years now and all my users love it. You can filter out almost everything and then get sent a "quarantined email summary" for all the junk mail as many times of the day as you program it to send to your users, Then the user can either allow the mail to come through and white/black list a domain or the individual who sent the mail on their own personal lists. For admin use, you can assign a global white/black list to prevent user mistakes for wanted/unwanted mail. It's truly a great system. And to top it off, since mail will relay through them, you can add nice ACL's on your firewall to assure mail relaying isn't occurring in your environment. You really should look it up. It's the best 'hands-free' product I've ever come across because I have better things to do than figure out why relaying, spoofing, and unwanted mail is being delivered. http://www.electricmail.com/Perimeterprotect/Packages/index.php -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of WALI Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 10:25 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Email security - gateway Hi guys I am looking for something to act as an all in one gateway for my incoming/outgoing mails. Have been using a product for a combined AntiSpam/Antivirus but it's not performing well. Not a core AntiSpam company. is though good as catching viruses at the gateway level. Someone suggests that we go for two different products and chain them together so incoming mails pass through AntiSpam and then another Antivirus before they land in our Exchange server. Any suggestions, on edge mail security design and products?
