Reviewing Anti-Spam Offerings

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the eggs-bacon-sausage-and dept.

Joel Snyder writes "Just finished looking into the innards of 40+ anti-spam products at Network World. The biggest, ugliest, and most comprehensive look at this market that's ever been done. Conclusions: lots of great products to choose from at the top (a dozen or more); a few stinkers in the bunch; and it's basically impossible to review Spam Assassin, which is unfortunate."

    RTFA:
    We also reached out to the SpamAssassin community (see "What about SpamAssassin?"), but couldn't find someone who could act as a representative for support and configuration assistance. However, two commercial vendors, Roaring Penguin (on Unix) and NoSpamToday! (on Windows) sent products that exposed their SpamAssassin cores.

    They have a whole page discussing this.
