I've been evaluating spamtitan for a couple of weeks to replace a
barracuda. it has been doing a good job. seems to be as effective at
stopping spam out of the box as the barracuda after doing a lot of
bayesian filter training.

I’ve been using SpamTitan at my organization (200 employees) for a few
years. For us it has been very effective, mostly set and forget, easy
web based console, and has plenty of features and options for us.
Includes Kaspersky AV, has a web interface for users to manage their
quarantine, can send email quarantine reports to users, from which
they can delete, white list, forward or delete messages directly. Cost
is reasonable. I use it running as a VM under VMware server – they
also have an ESX version. You can also use the ISO version, which runs
under Hyper-V or can be loaded on dedicated hardware. Live demo at
http://demo.spamtitan.com:8080/

You might take a look at http://www.proofpoint.com/ . It's worked very
nicely for me. You can buy it as an appliance, software for RedHat, or
a VM for ESX. False positive/negative rates out of the box are very
low and the menus are easy to understand, IMHO.

works pretty well out of the box. I have the enterprise version
clustered and host thousands of mailboxes and dozens of domains on it
without a hitch. I probably do something on it once or twice a month
when someone cant get an email due to the other side’s issue.
Last I looked their single domain version was free.

I am currently tasked to get rid of our ineffective Symantec Mail
Security which is, at the moment, our only anti-spam defense (besides
Outlook's junk mail folder). 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.
