Re: Information on Commercial Anti Spam Software

[Elliott Franklin <franklin () TXSTATE EDU>]

Tim,



We are using the Proofpoint appliance (http://www.proofpoint.com/) to block
spam and have been extremely happy with it.  Users are presented with a
daily digest if they have spam messages and are able to release individual
messages.  Also, users are able to white and grey list addresses through a
web interface and this has been popular as well.  No complaints that I'm
aware of.

Subject: [SECURITY] Information on Commercial Anti Spam Software



Hi All,

I am wanting to get an indication of what commercial anti spam software is
being used in other institutions.  We are looking for an "off the shelf "
package and wanting to minimise inhouse development as much as possible .

Could anyone using commercial anti spam software please provide information
on what they are using and any thoughts they have on the product they are
using.

Please, no sellers of products - only institutions using products.

Thanks very much,

Tim Lane
