All, 

Pathfinder recently switched to the Barracuda appliance unit - we needed
something that could process more incoming emails per day. We are enjoying
this but still tweaking the Bayesian settings - I think my folks like the
previous Bayesian system we were using - "GFI Mail Essentials". But, GFI
just couldn't process the abundant amount of spam we receive daily. 

JoJo - I had asked Kevin Greene from my staff to go into more detail about
the Barracuda unit we just deployed at Pathfinder. Hopefully you have
received something separately from him. 

Thanks

Hi JoJo,

Currently, we use SpamAssassin, a very popular open source solution. Works
best if installed on its own Linux server.

We are in the process of moving to Barricuda, a locked box that processes
spam before it gets to our SMTP server. It has lots of nice features like
auto-updates to definitions and user-enabled whitelisting. Barricuda is a
very popular solution, and we're hoping that it makes the spam
identification process a lot easier.

Regards,

Bill

I would like to poll this group again for every bodies favored anti spam
prevention measure.  What do you use and on what platform?  Do you use
plug ins, screening smtp servers, hosted solutions?  Agnostic? Microsoft
specific, or Open source methods?

 

I appreciate everyones input.
