Hands down you need to look into Appriver. My Company is a reseller and they do an awesome job. The pricing is good, it allows for end users to unquarantine their own mail, it also allows them to submit whitelist requests to the admin. We have run into baracudda appliances, which are horrible, postini which is a waste of money/time, and others. Appriver is similar to postini in the fact it's a 3rd party doing the work. We have been reselling Appriver and using it for about a year and it's the best on the market.

Again, also depending on the configuration of the master.cf and main.cf in Postfix, it is quite possible that one could be discarding legitimate email without even knowing.

We ran 3.5million pieces of e-mail a day through a bank of Postfix/SpamAssassin systems running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0. It worked quite well, after much optimization, while it was in production. We ended up moving away from running this service in-house and moved to a hosted solution with one of our business partners. We found, after about two years of providing this service to our customers, that performing spam management at an enterprise level is a technical and political nightmare (YMMV depending on the structure of your organization). The hosted solution we moved to gave our customers more flexibility over the configuration for their sites than we were able to offer with our in-house solution. I would strongly recommend evaluating hosted solutions along with any products you may be considering. - Abe Getchell me () abegetchell com http://abegetchell.com/ On Thu, 2008-03-13 at 21:16 -0600, Jay wrote: > Hi There, > > I am just sending an e-mail out there to you all to find thoughts out > there on a good Spam solution to possibly use for an enterprise. > Would like to hear positive points and pain points on some solutions > out there from you all if you have the time. > > Thanks > >
