Hi Matt,

Here at the University of Pittsburgh we are using Google's Postini service.
We implemented it in 2005 before Google owned them, but we are still happy
with the results.

We looked at appliances when we first implemented, but decided it would make
more sense to use an external service to minimize the overhead.

Subject: [SECURITY] Spam Filtering.

Hello, everyone. I hope you're enjoying a calm and peaceful beginning to
another semester.

Though this is a recurring question, I haven't seen it posed on this
list in a while. What is everyone using for anti-spam/anti-virus
filtering on email these days? We're moving away from our current
appliance, and exploring our options for the first time in a few years.

Feel free to email me off-list. If people are interested, I'd be happy
to summarize numbers and comments. Let me know.

--Matt
