RE: Corporate spam filter

>From what I've seen on the net Mailwatch prices range from $5 to $2 per user
per month. If that's still the case then Mailwatch would be 3 to 6 times
more expensive than a StandGuard Anti-Virus subscription. Also, SGAV
provides many additional features like on-access scanning, on-demand
scanning, object integrity scanning, partition scanning, ..., that would not
be included in a service like Mailwatch. Likewise Mailwatch provides
valuable features like spam and content filtering. I'm not saying Mailwatch
is not worth looking into by any means, just trying to clarify a point that
could be taken the wrong way.

On the plus side they are using the McAfee scanning engine which is
excellent.

We use a system called Mailwatch, which has been quite satisfactory.  They
have two spam filtering mechanisms and two anti-virus mechanisms.  The cost
is reasonable, likely less than the Standguard A/V subscription, and it is
pretty much set and forget.  It can be configured to do other things that
make managing email easier.
