The gold standard is Ironport e-mail security appliances from Cisco. Highly scalable (including clustering features so that you can manage a whole fleet as if they were one larger machine), highly flexible, excellent feature set (including anti-virus scanning and quarantining), and top notch support and training available. And their diagnostics, logging, and statistics gathering features are second to none. Of course, they are also more expensive, but if you consider the total cost of ownership and integration costs with your other equipment (including their web security appliances), I think they beat hands-down everything else in the market. -- Brad Knowles <b...@shub-internet.org> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
