RE: Spam Solution

["Mohamed Farid" <m.farid.shawara () gmail com>]

Did anyone check Google Apps Message and Security Filtering Products
(http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/security/compare.html ) ?

What is the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing the email filtering?
And will it be sufficient and secure ?

Thanks ,,,

MailScanner (www.mailscanner.info) is FOSS (however there is a commercial
version (www.fsl.com)), and has worked amazingly well for us.  There is much
activity on the development front, and the user community is wonderful.
Utilizes your favorite MTA (although sendmail is most supported),
Spamassassin, RBLs, Pyzor, DCC, Razor and countless AV scanners like ClamAV,
BitDefender, Symantec, McAffee, F-Prot, etc.  Web GUI front-end available
for reporting and real-time logs.  Never heard a complaint about false
positives.

Price is right, and can't think of any downsides.
