Hey folks.
You guys/gals always have great suggestions and this time I'm wondering about email antivirus/antispam appliances (outsourcing not an option) of mid sized scale. Today at $$$job we run Ironport appliances for antispam/antivirus protection. One of the appliances is end of life and needs to be replaced and the other two are coming up for maintenance renewal. These boxes, from what I understand, are very expensive. I have a call into Cisco for pricing but they usually take weeks to call back if they ever call back at all . enough about them.. So wondering if we should continue down the road with Ironport or consider something else. The number of email accounts continues to drop off over time with folks moving to Gmail, Hotmail etc. These boxes work *extremely* good . right now seeing about 3.5% of email is legit and rest is spam/virus etc. Very rare for a spam message to make it through . Outbound email messages per day approximately 100,000 (varies but average number) Inbound email messages per day approximately 2.6 million on average Anyone use anything on similar scale to provide insight into what they are using and how it works? Thanks, Paul
