I still use Brightmail. I think it does a hell of a good job. It runs as a VM (the package it for you), so no appliance needed (unless you want to buy one which they will be happy to sell you)

I know, it has the shame of Symantec about it but it's an awesome product anyway.

When it came time to replace due to age, we looked around again. This time we went with Ironport. We like it even better. The big difference (to us) is the reputation filter simply drops a large part of spam and malware laden email at the network connection level. So that traffic doesn't consume any bandwidth. I believe the levels of spam getting through is marginally better. But not enough to actually be a negative against Barracuda. I have no concerns about recommending either.

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.
