Re: Anti Spam appliances

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have installed several of the Sonicwall appliances and they work well.
There is a new firmware that addresses the bug you spoke of.

Martin,

Appreciate your reply/input. You are correct....creating a rule in Outlook
is not really a solution. I think that we might use the term "workaround".
This word is not really in my vocabulary. I would probably be calling an
old friend in Switzerland (who used to be the Product Manager for
SonicWall...she has since moved on) and find out why we would be given a
workaround....to something that they broke.

Thanks again,

Cary

There are lots of good services and appliances out there.
I think if I was setting one up for an unmanaged env, I might choose a
service as that way the client doesn't have to worry about a device.

I had the Sonicwall / MailFrontier solution at my last company. It worked
fine, but IMO the Sonicwall support was terrible.

I had an instance where a bug in an upgrade was causing an error message
to be generated and emailed to me every 30 minutes. Rather than fix that
bug, the "solution" was to create a rule to send the email to my deleted
items folder. That was straight from their support team.

That's not exactly the kind of support I think a person should be paying
for.

Good morning!

Have a client running Exchange Server 2007 SP1 making good use of the
Anti-Spam Agents (pretty much everything that this entails).

However, still getting too much spam for their liking.

I am pretty familiar with the Services out there (Postini, AppRiver,
MXLogic, SpamSoap, MailFoundry, et al). This is actually my preference.
Nothing to configure (except MX Record change) and you let the Pros do
their thing.

What about the appliances? There are about 150 users right now and they
are concerned about the costs of using a service. I personally am a fan
of the services, but the client wants to explore all options (as I have
suggested that he do).

Besides Barracuda Networks and Sonic Wall, what other appliances are out
there where you, the newsgroup participant, have personal experiences.


Thanks,

Cary
