[itdiscuss] Opensource AntiSpam

[Brad Coats]

If you're already using McAfee for your AV, you may also want to look at them for antispam, Adam.  We're using their hosted solution (formerly MXLogic - www.mxlogic.com) and love it.  We switched over when we outgrew our Barracuda 300.  It doesn't really approach free, though … :)  But we funnel all e–mail through them and into our Exchange cluster and it works great.

Thanks for the suggestions, I know for sure we will not be switching to Gapps anytime soon. As far as AV we're getting McAfee for $10.75 a seat. So We're covered there. I guess we'll stick with GFI or see if the interwebs have better suggestions.

FWIW, 501c3's get the educational version of gapps.

Adam - I don't know if you'll have much luck with an opensource solution since most orgs will gladly pay "something" to have a good solution that yields less salty meat in users inboxes ;-)

As a non-profit, you can get the enterprise edition for free.

Google Apps free edition does not include Postini Mail Security, is my understanding, because we are using the free edition.

I would recommend Google Apps that includes free email and calendar sharing hosting service with Postini Antispam service included (imagine a world without Exchange Server Support).  JANOAH, INC. can assist in switching you out of Exchange Server into Google Apps and into perpetual free email server service and spam filtering for your church or non-profit organization.

Then for your local server and workstation Anti-spam, Anti-virus, Anti-Rootkit systems I would recommend AVG 9.0 Business Edition<http://www.avg.com/us-en/product-avg-anti-virus-business-edition
> purchased through JANOAH, INC. (my company).   JANOAH, INC. can get
your church or non-profit organization a 30% Non-profit discount in addition to a free extra year of service with a three year contract.
It's network security protection for your whole internal network that includes centralized management console and network based remote installation.

Call or email JANOAH, INC. for more info.

You might look at the Untangle Firewall.  They have a couple of options.
You could use just the spam portion of their system.
