Version: Spam Filter ISP 2.6.3.473
"Great Product, Works Well, very stable"
Pros: In July 2004, our company began to be bombarded by spam for reason yet to be determined. Our Watchguard fire boxx III was unable to keep up and maintain any degree of usefulness. I was faced with a dilema, block the spam at the firewall, or let all spma through and have my exchange server handle it. Well, I choose option 2) and with in hours my exchange server was bogged down. Also, the folder that keeps all undeliverable messages had in excess of 300,000 items. Yikes. I was stuck so I spent the night looking for a solution. I came across GFI which worked, but I found it required alot of over head. I then installed Spamfilter on an old PII, redirected all SMPT traffic to it from my fire wall, and setup a few basic rules for filtering. After about 2 hours, my exchange server sprng to life, no longer burdened by the spam it was filtering. I now Use Symantec Antivirus on the spamfilter box, which is cool because every email is scanned for viruses before it reaches my exchange server.
Cons: the large number of spam email I receive clogs up the Quarentine database. I have elected to just delete without quarentine
