Re: SPAM/spyware appliances or services

[Patrick Saeva <pjsits () RIT EDU>]

We at RIT are currently running a homegrown solution, and have kicked
off a project to perform analysis on several of the vendor solutions in
the marketplace.  So far, Mailfrontier, Process Software, Ciphertrust,
Sophos, and Symantec have made our short list.  We plan on formal
analysis over the next month, and hope to have a solution in place by
fall quarter.

Give me a call if you have any questions,

Subject: [SECURITY] SPAM/spyware appliances or services

Am curious to know who's using an appliance or an external service (as
distinct from software running on the MTA) to aggressively filter spam
for
their campus.  Additionally, do any of you employ products which filter
spam from email traffic as well as filter spyware from HTTP; who's using
what?
