Good anti-spam for Exchange?

[nanaki333]

Can anybody recommend a good anti-spam software for an Exchange Server? I'm running ihatespam which has been really good, but as of late, has really been sucking the big one.

What version of Exchange? Your best bet would probably be to go with a 3rd party appliance (i.e. Barracuda Spam firewall, St. Bernard ePrism, etc.)...

Microsoft offers IMF which is free and works as well as anything else out there.

cheapest one is XWall

we bought it for like $400 a few years ago and get free upgrades. it works great and is fast. don't fall for the expensive stuff since they all use the same basic open source technology. we use ours as an SMTP gateway that takes emails from exchange and forwards incomming messages back to exchange. this way spam doesn't even touch the internal systems.
