Greg,
we have been using SpamCheck for about 1 1/2 months now and have had No
problems with it.
Pros
1. Easy to Install
2. Support has been good
3. Highly flexible
4. Catches a lot of spam that passes DNS and RFC tests
5. Allows you to give emails + or - weights
6. Cost $0
Cons
1. Config files can require a good deal of time and customization for your
needs
2. I understand CPU utilization can be high - but they are working on that.
3. Its Beta(?) software so you take it As Is(Correct me if wrong on this
anyone)
4. Did I mention it takes some time to get the config files setup :)
I have not looked at any of the other external testing programs so I
cannot say how it compares.
For us SpamCheck has been Great.
