Re: Enterprise Email Antivirus / Anti-SPAM Appliances

[Tim Crawford <tcrawford () GSB STANFORD EDU>]

We just moved from Sophos PureMessage to IronPort appliances. So far, we are finding a much more effective capture 
rate. I can give more specifics offline.

     We use Sophos PureMessage.  It has worked well for us, few false
positives or negatives.  In the last couple of weeks the false negative
rate seems a little higher with very short spam emails and gif based
pump and dump emails getting through.  I'm begining to monitor this.

Will those of you using email antivirus/antispam appliances reply to
me
off-list as to which product you are using? I would also like to know
if
you are generally happy with the solution you have in place. If the
group is interested I will compile the information and report back.

**Sorry for the cross-post if you are also on Resnet-L.**
