Absolutely bogus figure and false advertising.
 
You think you guys would learn about misleading people here.

that's essentially what we did for our (ipswitch) corporate solution and we have seen false positives go to 1 in 500,000.  updates occur as frequently as every 10 minutes (24x7x365) and we just don't have to deal with it anymore.

Hi Dave and Lim,
 
I completely agree.  Outsourcing or at least implementing as a service where small, but frequent incremental updates are delivered to your server in near real-time and automatically makes sense given the climate for spam (and viruses).

<miniplug> - customers who are running imail secure server or ics premium have said that spam has all but fallen off the radar as a time consumer  - they seem to be very happy with it.   it catches spam in 30 languages with human editors also looking at it (one in japan, one in england, 2 in US)</mini plug>
 
bye for now,

Hi, Lim-
 
If you have no tech support people, you probably should outsource spam control. It's pretty much hands-on to do it right.
 
Having said that, there are some gateway products, and Declude interfaces directly into IMail. Declude has gotten pretty expensive for new users, though.

Hi ppl,
 
We're still using IMAIL 7.5 and I need help in getting an affordable yet reliable SPAM filter... (I hope there is such a thing).
Since we have 0 Tech support personnel.... I am hoping for a user-friendly solution.
I know IMAIL has some sort of built-in SPAM filter... but that works by manually maintaining a filter LIST .. is that so?
(I am guessing here)
 
Again... we have 0 Tech support ppl.... so noone is gonna maintain the list... which is why I am hoping there is a solution
where by it retrieves/updates the filter list automatically.. something like an anti-virus program.  Is this how SPAM filters
works?   Or does it always need a tech guy/gal to maintain it?
 
We are a small company... we dont have a lot of emails (less than 1000 emails per day - 70% of them SPAM...)
 
Sorry if my question is too noob... I don't have much tech resources to turn to.  Any help/info is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
 
 
Lim.
