Brightmail seems to be getting a lot of good press on the SPAM front.
So I'm wondering, why do people running large mail systems choose SA over corporate offerings. Is it cost? Is it configurability, or performance?
Can anyone shed any light on how Brightmail achieves the rather impressive statistics it is quoting, or do you think it is just smoke and mirrors?
Is it possible to reproduce the other features without spending the cash?
My home ISP uses brightmail as a spam filter. I have it set to force spam into a separate folder.
I have yet to get a FP with it, but it only seems to net about 95% of the inbound spam (about 1 for every 20 slips by).
