We are currently running Surf Control's Email Filter for SMTP. It has a robust spam filter, does virus scanning, has content filtering, and does have the option to log messages to a SQL Database.

Now as a side note... After I praise the GFI and start looking into it for deployment.. They have broken their product into a gateway model and a module for your Exchange Box... 2 separate packages, which split what I wanted... Now features are in both.. So now I gotta buy 2 software packages.. Back to the demo lab... Anybody got a suggestion. We are looking for a gateway product to block viruses, spam, etc, AND have the ability to log each message into and/or out of the mail system into a SQL database for "required archival" purposes....

We are looking at a product by GFI Called Mail Essentials.. I have run a demo of the product and it seems pretty robust, and had some nice reporting and filtering options.. Any other comments out there about this product or any other gateways....???

And actually I probably should have mentioned that. And I have another question. Our scenario is 1 5.5 mailbox server, 1 5.5 SMTP server, and a recently aquired "ANTISPAM" server. This will be the gateway. So am I bound by exchange 5.5 still since I'm not actually going to install it on the exchange server or the smtp server? I would think not, but I'm not sure. And if I don't need a product specific then why do they have for example Symantec Filtering for Exchange, and things like that? e- -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 11:22 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: the spam product question What you want to do is get something that runs as a gateway rather than on the mail server. That will negate any issues of compatibility and keep the stuff from ever getting near the Exchange box. -----Original Message----- From: Hansen, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 10:12 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: the spam product question I know I know I know, this questions has been asked a million times. My question has a small but important twist. We don't content filter our email here. Now they want to, even though we are less then 6 months away from a Exchange 2000 and/or Exchange .Net migration, but they want to do it anyway. I'm looking for the best spam filter that will run on 5.5 but then will also run on 2000. I dug through the archives a bit but didn't see this addressed. On a side note... They should really add the "what anti-spam product should I use?" question to the faq.
