That sounds great Len, the IMGate Machine, but doesn't it require a Unix/Linux box to run on? Meaning I'd have to install yet another 'box' just to control spam? I'd estimate that about 50-60% of all inbound mail to our domains is unwanted mail (sporn - spam & porn).

The desktop user must whitelist every single sender or domain, else rejected. ie, "100% moderated" mail reception. Meta Group doesn't seem to get out and about very much, claiming SPAM levels of just 10%. http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/02/06/25/020625hntoolsspam.xml?0626 weam ime, the IMGate machines I install and admin get between 20% and 50% reject rates.
