Let me clarify that as far as stopping spam brightmail is great ... but as for using the product as a quarantine server for the ironports, it really needs a lot of work. The ironports are configured to send anything that needs to be quarantined to a specific server/port, and the quarantine server puts any email it recieves on that port in the quarantine database. It uses LDAP to determine what spam belongs to what user, based off of the SMTP address.
