  1. Been virtually Spam free for 2 years now... by Blowit · · Score: 1 · on Despite Gates' Prediction, Spam Far From a Thing of the Past

    We have been using Surgemail for our mail server since 2005 and in 2007 we tightened up some rules. As of January 1st, 2009, we enforced either SPF or DomainKeys authentication now. Our Mail server CPU usage dropped from 7% average to only 2-3% average now. We don't use any third party filtering systems as Surgemail blocks all the junk mail for us. It has stopped Mass Phishing emails for domains that have SPF/DK records.

    If you really want to stop spam in your organization, I highly recommend trying Surgemail out.

    Real time blacklists only stop about 93% of the spam coming into our networks, the remaining 7% is stopped by SPF/DK and Surgemail's Friends system,(which Beautifully works as folders in IMAP mode so you never need to access a web page to release legitimate mail).

    Occasionally, clients do call to say that someone tried to reach them but got rejected by our server cause the sender's mail server/domain does not have an SPF/DK record. We simply ask them to email the sender and Surgemail automatically adds the client into the whitelist system allowing communications with the IMPROPERLY configured domain.

    All in all, for the past 2 years, out of 15 email accounts I have on my system (one for Mail lists, another for personal, business, etc...) I could say that I have gotten a handful of SPAM that got through (with valid SPF/DK records), but nothing SPAMCOP could not clear up after reporting them.

    I have not lost any time or money weeding through my emails to find legitimate messages, get viruses, or lost legitimate mail cause of SPAM.

    I have tried Spamassasin and others like it in the past and just causes extra load for nothing. I have used other mail solutions in the past but NOTHING BEATS Surgemail for a unified mail server system with lots of added features to boot.

  3. Re:Whew by swd2 · · Score: 1 · on Judge Rules In Favor Of Spamhaus
    My users put that authority in my hands, they dont want to deal with it and they dont have the time. I use the blacklists because it makes them happy, and they dont care if that single email is blocked, because only an idiot would rely 100% on email for something major.
    Well basicly most my users have the same with the default settings. But if they need to make sure a "friend" bypass any filters they have the power to do that. And to also raise there default score reject level. Or ban addresses. See what incoming email messages were rejected, etc. etc. Now this is done with newer mail server software (I use Surgemail). That doesn't require a full time mail admin changing settings, managing black/white lists for his end users.
  4. Never actually see it since my spam filter works! by Pi55edOff · · Score: 1 · on New Kind of Spam 'Un-Training' Filters?

    Hello all,

    I am shocked to hear this as I have 12 active mailboxes on my server and I have yet to get spam via these accounts in over 16 months.
    I use NETWINSITE's SURGEMAIL as our server and have been extremely happy with the product ever since. We used Rockliffe Mailsite before but since they were not willing to listen to their customers to expand their product, they ended up losing a good amount mail servers to Surgemail. This product has effectively increased productivity for our clients since they do not need to filter through junk mail anymore.

    I would highly recommend it. check out http://www.netwinsite.com/ or http://www.surgemail.com/ for more info.
    PS: those who run personal domains, you can use up to 5 mailboxes with Surgemail FREE OF CHARGE.

  6. Re:Communigate Pro by bc90021 · · Score: 2, Informative · on Exchange Alternatives Round-up

    CommuniGate is an excellent piece of software. I've used it, and I would recommend it, too, if I could...

    The only problem with Communigate Pro is that it is *****EXPENSIVE*****. For a small hosting company with 1000 email boxes, they wanted *****THIRTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS*****. That's *****THIRTY TWO DOLLARS PER MAILBOX*****. That's insane. Even Microsoft doesn't charge anywhere near that much, and I think MS's products are way overpriced.

    In case I haven't made my point, it's ridiculously expensive. It's not geared to any business that isn't already an ISP. (I know, because I used to work at a small ISP, and they used it, but still had serious reservations about the price.)

    There's also SurgeMail, which is very similar to CommuniGate, but isn't nearly as expensive.

  7. IMAP helps by extra88 · · Score: 2, Informative · on Separate Web Pages for Large Attachments?

    It sounds like you've never used an IMAP client. If you open a message using an IMAP client, it does not download attachments along with the body of the mesage. Also, the size of attachments is recorded in the message headers so you can see an attachment's filename, see how large it is and choose to download it, delete it, or leave it on the server attached to the message.

    This has been my experience with Microsoft Entourage, Netscape Mail, Eudora, Apple Mail.app, Pine and a WebMail system which accesses the mail server via IMAP (which I think is a fairly common way for 3rd party webmail programs to work.).
