RE: Spam Solution

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.

What you are running into is EUQ (End User Queing) which does not
scale in an enterprise, since each user's perspective on what can be
deemed SPAM is very political. 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.
