I'm going to third (or fourth) everyone's comments related to Declude, the company, their people (David Barker in particular) and the product.
We're running Imail v8.22 (tried 2006 but failed miserably), Declude with invURIBL and Commtouch. We tried Sniffer but it added so much overhead to the system that we had to remove it. Commtouch really was the biggest improvement for us when we added it to the Declude/invURIBL configuration we were running previously. So, our experience was Commtouch was much less of an impact on our server than Sniffer. We have about 3500 mailboxes with 350+ domains and our spam is down to probably 2-3% sneaking through and it's usually the ones that are new and only come in once until their signature is broken and gets included in the various test sources. It's going to be a constant battle where the vendors are always behind the spammers but it seems like the vendors are closing the gap between introduction of new spamming techniques and how fast they get the solutions into the field.

We are not using Commtouch. For those of you running the first three, how much impact did you see by adding Commtouch? Our management is very happy with the current set up, esp. compared to what we used to have. However, I do spend a few hours per week tweaking settings to achieve that. Uwe, I second (or third) the others that Declude (a fantastic product) on it's own won't get you want you want/need. As I mentioned, we are not running Commtouch, but I noticed an improvement when I added invURIBL, and another when I added Sniffer.

We do not run sniffer. We get very few smaps to the user boxes. Most users get none and the heavier email user get 1-3 a day. We delete about 85% of incoming spam the other 14% get held for review and less than one half of one percent gets through to mailboxes.
