I too am demoing Mimesweeper..etc..surfcontrol...etc..... You will find Serdar's comments fit well. It has been hell.... and continues to be. You will find you will need to spend many hours "tuning" still it will not meet with expectations one way or the other.
Mainly I am trying to do heavy duty SPAM filtering and some second pre content filtering (attachments only ). You will find yourself checking it like 3 times a day... Well I do 3 to 4... I must be sure e-mail that are supposed to get thru do ... and well sometimes they get caught... Ours is a time sensative business so I check frequently..lot O fun..monitoring e-mail... As always its a give and take....it will depend on what your management can do with and without...... Good luck..Jim... the server will self destruct in 10 seconds.... bill -----Original Message----- From: Soysal, Serdar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 1:03 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 and content filtering Recommendation: Don't do it. Seriously. Have management publish a policy about what is considered objectionable and have each employee sign it. Fire the first 1-3 offenders and it won't happen again. If you do end up implementing it, be prepared to answer questions like "Why did this message go through? I thought we were filtering such stuff." Also be prepared to explain to management why the product didn't catch the objectionable text in that one message even though the text was actually part of a JPEG image. Etc. etc. Serdar Soysal -----Original Message----- From: Ashby, Andrew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 9:51 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 5.5 and content filtering My management has decided that we must filter all mail (not just incoming SMTP) for objectionable content. If a message matches a word list, it is forwarded to a security mailbox. Any recommendations? I am already downloading the demo of Mimesweeper.
