-John,



You may want to consider a spam protection service like
http://www.frontgatecorp.com for your spam protection. There are some
noticeable advantages of a spam service over a software product that you
might want to consider as part of your selection process.



- No hardware or software to purchase!

- Easy to deploy and administer-A simple DNS change and you're
protected!

- Does not put any load on your Exchange server!

- Multiple gateways increase messaging reliability and allow
Administrators to take their Exchange servers down for maintenance and still
queue mail for delivery

- Multiple spam engines increase spam identification and eliminate a
single point of failure

- Two ICSA Labs certified virus scanners remove viruses before they
enter your network

- Allows you to hide your Exchange server behind their secure
front-end network

- Cost effective-costs less than $.10 cents a day!



As you can see, there are advantages to a spam service that should be
considered as part of your selection process. Try the service free for 30
days before you make your final selection.
