Does SAV 8.x have a SPAM filter

[GTS2K]

I am looking at different products to block spam but I was wondering if SAV 8.x has spam filtering function.

Not that I'm aware of. It does have types of script blocking however. You are going to need a third party spam filter. Probably better to do it from the mail server!

Thanks. What would you recommend. I am looking at Symantec Mail Security for MS Exchange or Symantec AntiVirus for SMTP Gateways 3.1. Currently I am at MS Exchange 5.5 and I am about to upgrade to Exchange 2000.

Note that I don't use a spam filter (only have like 20 clients and they are sufficiently scared enough to be careful), but I've heard that both SpamCop and SpamAssassin are good programs to use. I would check into those and hopefully someone will recommend something else?

GFI MailEssentials has a good spam filter.

Symantec Mail Security for MS Exchange includes a basic spam filter that runs on your Exchange Server. We have been running it for quite a while. Once you get it set, it works alright. Not real strong compared to Surf control and similar products, but a great deal knowing that it came with the Symantec Mail Security product.
