Hi guys, I've been using GFI MailEssentials for a few years for anti-spam and content filtering. I use a Barracuda in front of our Exchange (2010) server, so that weeds out probably 97% of the spam. The rest shows up in users' Suspected Spam folder (from MailEssntials.)
But two things are pushing me away from MailEssentials a bit. One is the fact that Suspected Spam folders are just plain full every day. It doesn't seem great at figuring out what is spam and what isn't, and you can drop mail into the "This Is Spam" folder all day for months and months and you will still get the same stuff. Easily 200-400 pieces of spam a day in that folder. The other thing is that a few months ago I changed my (small) company from use VIPRE on the server and desktops to using Kaspersky Total Security for Business. It has anti-spam modules for the server but I've not used them yet. My concern is that there is no client functionality, as far as I can tell, for Outlook. When I talked to Kaspersky, they said there is no need - that their filters will catch all the spam and it doesn't require any whitelisting or blacklisting from users. Based on all of the false positives and false negatives I've seen over the years from anti-spam vendors, I find this hard to believe. Anyone have any experience with using Kasperky for anti-spam? Thanks for any thoughts! Evan
