I have one client that we bought a fortigate email appliance for. They seem happy with it. I basically set it up and forget about it unless someone calls me and wants me to resend a quarantine email to them that they deleted. One thing to consider is complexity. It is exponentially more complex that the Sonicwall. For a simple setup, the wizard will work to get it going for you...but it is so very configurable and complex because it runs the same software that you would use if you were running an ISP spam solution.

We are currently using a Dell SonicWALL Email Security VMware appliance and The Boss Man(tm) would like to evaluate alternatives. One of the appliances that meets our requirements is the FortiGate FortiMail Email Security Appliance. Is anyone using one of these boxes, and, if you are, do you have any feedback you would like to share? In case anyone is wondering, these are the requirements: * LDAP support (believe it or not, there are actually boxes that don't support that!) * Available as a virtual appliance so we can run it in the VMware cluster * Support for quarantine delegation - we need to give specific users access to the quarantine folder for distribution groups -- Phil Brutsche [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
