RE: IronMail
We are looking at the product, the weighted spam filtering seem to be a lot better choice than the simple filters other products use. The selling point for us geeks here is the security functions for OWA and the ability of a user to release their own mail from inbound holding via a web interface. The steep price for our configuration of choice is the sticking point with management.

RE: IronMail
It is a pricey solution. I suppose if you were to add up the cost of each solution it provides from different vendors as well as the system itself, it would be close. Have you looked at MXtreme solution from Borderware?

RE: IronMail
We are also evaluating the solution. It offers the SLS (statistical lookup service) where messages are analyzed and then compared against an external dbase to see if they have gone out to large numbers of users (spam). This appears to be a very quick and efficient process. They are of course only leveraging the information other Ironmail boxes collect. I know of no issues where we have a false positive w/ this functionality. Of course we had to exempt some business related list servers. We are using a feature where a number of criteria have to fail then those failures are weighted and based on an aggregate value that you define whether the mail is or is not flagged as spam. Those things you can leverage and weigh are RBL's, Reverse DNS, SLS, and User and system defined header analysis. We are currently blocking about 80% of mail that is inbound to our organization. We will be deploying the end user quarantine functionality next week (when it is available w/ service release 5). Users can then be sent a single e-mail on a schedule you select and let them see what has been blocked w/ a URL to release it. Once that is available, We plan on implementing more strict policies (once I have that safety net).
