Choosing Spam Appliance
- Thread starter ahhgeez
- Start date
I use the SonicWall here at my office. It works ok. I have it set to medium-high and only a small amount of SPAM gets through. This setup was here when I arrived.
My preferred setup would be to use Trend Micro ScanMail for Exchange and the eManager (spam) on the server along with the Exchange Intelligent Message Filter. On the clients I would run Outlook 2k3 in cached mode and enable the Junk Mail filter. This gives you a very rigorous anti-spam/virus setup. You have server side protection and client side protection. I have used this setup in a number of different installations and it works great.
This method is also a lot cheaper than purchasing a client. Trend's product is a lot cheaper than an appliance, the Exchange IMF is free and so is Outlook Junk filter.
