Been using it for years.  Does an absolutely amazing job of protecting against all sorts of email attacks and spam.  In 
fact when someone does get spam into their inbox vs. their daily digest, they email security to find out why they got 
it.

Subject: [SECURITY] Proofpoint comments

We are in the late stages of an evaluation of Proofpoint to replace our Postini antispam services.  Does anyone use 
Proofpoint and what are your impressions?  Does it do a good job of identifying spam, scams, and phishing attacks?  Is 
it easy to administer? Does the campus find it easy and convenient to use?

Thanks for any feedback,
