Unless you are receiving/sending over 100,000 messages daily, you overpaid. A lot.
Our volume is relatively low, but we use a Windows 2000 P4 server I built myself over 2 years ago and XWall. Cost about $1,600 total and there are no maintenance fees. It could scale much higher than the volume it handles currently. My experience is different; about half of our spam volume is from professional spammers in China, Korea and Russia. The rest is Windows zombies and odds and ends. > -----Original Message----- > I have spent over $10,000 on hardware this year, and untold time, > that serves no purpose other than to scrub spam.
