FWIW, CESMail.net (aka SpamCop email system) offers pretty good rates for their filtered email. For about $30/year/mailbox they will filter your email for spam and viruses and either let you POP your email or forward it on to you.

We have about 500 users running on Exchange 2007 with several different domains. I have trawled the archives of the list getting some suggestions for various appliances/software/hosted solutions. I was wondering what the community considered to be the best configuration for an org of our size. Our problems with Symantec are that if it is turned down, we have too much spam getting through, and when turned up high, it is still letting enough spam through to be annoying whilst pulling out some rather important false positives. Cost is not usually too much of an issue for us (we have ESX, Citrix MPS4, XenApp, AppSense, SCOM and SCCM amongst our chunkier products), but if there is something cheaper (especially for non-profits), that could be factored in. I'd also be interested in anything that did antivirus as well, as I am not convinced by Symantec's products at all. Do most people favour the belt-and-braces solution for smaller orgs - a hosted solution or appliance at the edge and software running on Exchange? Or are there any products out there that do the job well enough on their own? From looking at the archives it seems that IronPort and the-product-formerly-known-as-Ninja are two of the most highly recommended. Does anyone have any particular recommendations for hosted solutions - MessageLabs seems to be quite highly-rated, and I'm tempted by the pricing of Google's offering. Finally, I was wondering if any of MS' products (like ForeFront) are worth a look? Sorry for rambling on, all advice, hints, tips, gratefully received and compiled.
