Re: Proofpoint comments

["Erlenbeck, Philip" <perlenbe () UMFLINT EDU>]

I can tell you that after deploying Proofpoint the number of tickets I received for Phishing messages dropped from 
about 30 a month to 2 or 3 a month.

I've been happy with support and we had a tech walk us through every step of the deployment.

Some of our users were confused about the digest messages and thought that everything in the Audit section was being 
blocked, so do your best to communicate how it works as best you can.

Likewise.  We've also had it since 2004.  Won out in a head-to-head evaluation primarily on the strength of their 
support, and that remains the same.block

Does an excellent job of blocking spam, etc., and administrative effort is minimal.
