The one strong point I always thought was good for the outsourcing part was that that much less stuff came over my link to the internet..thus idealy helping to manage bandwidth.

This week we talked about putting a Linux box with Sendmail between you and the internet. You can use spamassasin and have everything in house. One of the advantages is that you do have full control about what gets caught and you can always access the "probably spam" mailbox to see if spamassasin was a bit 'trigger happy'. I did hear (on the SBS2K list) about gfi mailessentials which seem to have a pretty good anti spam util too.. it runs on Windows.
