RE: Xwall
yes, used it for a year and a bit and it's rock-solid and does a hell of a lot for the money. not used the spam side of it for a long time (got postfix/spamassassin for that now) but i don't know of many windows products that do as much for that sort of money - logging's one of the best features IMHO. regards, Paul -Original Message- From: Chuck Parkey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 December 2003 19:31 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Xwall I am looking at putting an Xwall into place here.

RE: Xwall
I've only had it in place for about 4 weeks, so I am still fine tuning it. But yes I'm very happy with it so far. We get relatively small amount of spam. However with that said, we went from using Exchanges filtering to using X-Wall. When we used Exchange filtering about 10 - 15 % of incoming mail was classified as spam. Now with X-Wall we are classifying upwards of 30%. I have users notify me of any slip-thrus, and from what I can tell we are stopping about 90% of spam at the SMTP level now...they never touch my exchange box. I have yet to turn on the Bayesian filtering. Just using DNS based RBLs and subject line blocking to date. I'm sure when I turn on Bayesian that the % will certainly increase. There are also some pretty cool reporting features (3rd party) that will take your x-wall stat files and give you all sorts of info. For us (a non-profit) the price is great for what we are getting. I know there are others on this list with far more experience with it that can chime in. -Original Message- From: Chuck Parkey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 11:31 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Xwall I am looking at putting an Xwall into place here.

RE: Xwall
I have one in place ... it has its issues but for the price it is pretty good; hasn't crashed; has its own smtp server; handles a heavy load real well ; nice log files; ... documentation ; ok, but I think his english language skills make what he is trying to get across sketchy bayes good word/bad word ... works ... but I can't seem to get it to stop giving test emails with very few words bad scores ... I lot of options to choose from ... nice header options ... individual whitelist (but no individual blacklist) etc ...
