Thanks Terry!
My goal is helping another company decide what course to take for a
server.
Certainly the dual gateway scenario will be in place, but I want to
provide them a comprehensive overview with several options to choose
from.
I would never consider using "built in" spam filtering/blocking when
there is a much better way of doing it.
I appreciate your insight, and I think you may still be correct in that
by the time I get all features needed, Imail will be the cost and
feature comparison winner.
