Thank you all who have answered this has been really helpful. I have
a follow-up question about using SpamAssassin versus using a
commercial solution.

Due to the way things are currently deployed, too long to go into
here, our SpamAssassin is not kept very up to date. I should have
mentioned that before, because we would catch a lot more spam if we
kept it up to date. One of our options would be to make the necessary
changes to our environment so that we could easily keep SpamAssassin
updated. I've also received suggestions on how we could improve our
configuration.

It looks like I will end up with a short list of choices including
commercial solutions as well as beefing up our SpamAssassin deployment.

This leads me to wonder, have any of you changed from SpamAssassin to
commercial, or vice versa? If so, why did you do so, and how did they
compare?

Thanks!
Maria
