Trend InterScan Messaging Security Suite I believe, although I don't
administer our internal systems.  The guys that do happended to mention
that SurfControl was way better at catching spam.  I'll see if I can
find some figures.

What were you using previously, and how many messages enter it from the
Internet in a day?

Subject: RE: The spam that gets through


If it gets past the database of known spam (we use SurfControl), then it
also undergoes a keyword scan.  Sometimes this blocks legitimate mail,
which is a PITA.  I've removed myself from the keyword scanning, as I
was spending more time getting messgaes released than I was dealing with
spam.  It doesn't bother me to delete a few messages.  If it gets past
the keyword scan, then sometimes we evaluate the text, and we add in
specific rules to combat that particular message.  For example, we can't
see much communication involving septic tanks within our normal
day-to-daty activities.  :0)

The manual adding is not very scalable I admit.  But SurfControl's spam
datbase is catching 3x the amount of our previous product.

Quick question following a vigourous debate here: How do people out in
list-land handle spam which gets past the spam filters?
