Re: Trend Micro spam filter

That's correct Andrew. I'm not sure if the scanning engine etc are different
or not, but the products themselves are different in many ways.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (I'm relatively new to Trend Micro)
but isn't C/S/M a different product than Scan Mail?

Actually, I'm kind of surprised at your responses. I have been using a
trial version of Trend Micro Scan Mail for the past 1.5 weeks and I am
sorely disappointed with it's spam filtration. Out of the 9340 pieces
of mail it has scanned, it has only flagged 645 as spam. I know that at
least 2/3 of all the mail we receive is spam. I have tuned and tweaked
everything I can, but the onslaught of spam persists. ScanMail appears
to only have "Low, Medium, and High" as its spam filter levels. It does
not allow you to filter by SCL.

Don't get me wrong, It's antivirus engine has been working beautifully
but its antispam has me thinking twice about purchasing it.

tried a few others, Symantec, GFI etc for bits and peices, but found
them to
hog resources, not protect the server (including spam scanning) and
just
behave generally unruly.

So now our only security products are CSM for SMB and TMAS for SMB, and
I
won't be looking back.

I finally had a chance to install Trend Micro's mail

the
spam filtering seems to be. How many of you are using that as your
only
spam
filter? Any other comments? Until now, when a client requests spam
filtering, we've been using a paid outside vendor for spam filtering
before
it even reaches the Exchange server. We've been using Symantec Mail
Security
on the inside, but as I've mentioned I've been looking at competitors
because I'm just too annoyed with Symantec's licensing procedures and
the
software isn't so good that I need to stick with it at all costs. I do
have
one guy paying $300-$400/month for spam filtering and "business
continuity"
but he's starting to think the bill is too high (it was his idea
originally)
and I'm thinking that Trend Micro C/S/M may be the way to go for him.
(His
Symantec license expires in the next month or so.)
