Ok, super, I think I have been set straight on this subject. Thanks Martin.

No, I don't think so. More a matter of preference. I prefer to get my mail and virus's cleaned up before it hits the server. I also like the fact that the gateway will hold my mail in the event my Exchange box goes down. -----Original Message----- From: Hansen, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 11:19 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: the spam product question And that's bad, correct. My somewhat limited knowledge would think that's bad. So is it safe to assume that as I look at product, because it's a gateway product, that it doesn't need to be software specific cause I'll never be actually installing exchange 5.5 on my antispam server? -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 11:43 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: the spam product question Because some people want that I guess... -----Original Message----- From: Hansen, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 10:29 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: the spam product 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.
