The migration was a breeze using smartermail's utility for migrating from
imail.  We did it in one evening.  We have about 60 domains.

We are using Declude Junkmail Pro.  Declude works very well.  However, I do
have one major complaint with the declude/smartermail combination.  There is
no way to quickly review held spam for false positives.  Therefore, we may
be losing legitimate business email and we have no way to find it or
determine to what extent this is happening.

Declude has been promising me that "next week" they'll provide me with an
updated version of Spamreview, which is a tool for reviewing the spam folder
contents.  Declude has the source code for the software.  Later they told me
a customer was working on spamreview.  Well, needless today, months and
months have passed with no solution and we're left in bad situation.  The
work around options we found aren't very practical.

If you look at a Declude purchase, I recommend you make it contingent on
Declude providing a decent solution for identifying false positives.

We also use F-Prot to scan for viruses.

Not sure on that one.  We're not set up that way but you could call
smartertools and ask them.

Ipswitch priced themselves out of the market.  They had a niche but now
because of the cost they are targeting higher end companies and companies
with deep pockets are probably going to go with exchange anyway.  Ipswitch
capitulating to the heat they took is too little to late in my book.
Nothing says they won't stick it to the little guy again in the future.

You would be happy with smartermail and its affordable and smoking fast too!
