[itdiscuss] Opensource AntiSpam

Wed Jun 23 11:46:30 EDT 2010

We use an antispam service. The starting plan is $20 a month per domain
you want to protect. I have a few side clients on this service as well
and the $20 plan is just fine.  It Is also an antivirus scanner as well
as an email cache service. It caches up to 7 days so if you email server
crashes, you reboot it, whatever, once it comes back up all mail cached
with their service is then delivered. Support is great and timely. 

Sign up

Set your MX records to their server

Close all inbound port 25 on the firewall except from the IP ranges they
give you.

We've been using it at Precept for 5 years and it is great. We have
relatively heavy e-mail volumes and have had no problems. 

Check it out.

.com would not interest you ...unless you are in the market for red tea
fragrance oils and what have you.

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.

Heehee ... this thread has gone far from the "opensource solution for
exchange 2003 recommendation" LOL
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.
