Currently everybody but myself here has their email being filtered by a hosted antispam service at onlymyemail.com. We've been using them for several years now. Spam has dropped to literally zero. False positives are very few and far between. You get a daily email with what has been blocked, and you can fetch such a report on-demand at any time. However, I have opened the floodgates to my own email address (yes I am a glutton for punishment) so I can test the anti-spam gateway in our Watchguard Firebox UTM appliance, and so far, its spam filter has been dead on accurate as well, so we may be looking to abandon the hosted anti-spam service.

Jupiter, Florida (561) 747-6107 From: Tom Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 10:45 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Spam appliances/services Folks, I'm in the market to replace my current spam filter. Google Message Security looks pretty good as a service, although it's pricing for us. I've heard good things about Barracuda SPAM and Virus filter, as well as M+ from Messaging Architects. Sorry Sunbelt, we don't run Exchange so your product is out. Anyone have any comments on those products and have any to add? I would for the most part like something to be configured and not to have to constantly tweak it. Also users need to be able to see what's blocked and unblock a message if they want.
