I do believe there is someone on the list that is using ASSP in an ISP environment. I can't think of their name, but they may chime in.
That would be me :-) The only issue I have seen with ASSP over the last two years is it does not have per-user settings. I have not seen individual users goofing up the auto-whitelisting feature. I think perhaps one or two of those have happened in two years and I dealt with it by talking individually to each user. I actually do not let users report spam. For the first two weeks of ASSP's operation I I personally monitored every spam/notspam that came thru. It was pure hell. But since then I have only paid marginal attention to the system. Its that good. ASSP's more recent features -- greylisting in particular and now penalty-boxing in the latest version -- supplement the Bayesian and RBL filtering enormously. Traffic dropped by some big number -- I think it was 65% -- with the greylist alone, which shut the door on spam before it even was received. The inability to handle things on a per-user level is a prroblem, but only for some. Typically the user with a lot of commercial newsletter subscriptions. Especially where that newsletter varies its From address. However, the latest version of ASSP allows you to test items and, if they fail, prepend the subject with [spam] or somesuch and pass it thru for user action. You can turn this on for individual users or entire domains. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
