I do not know what CoreComm (formerly ExecPC.com &
Voyager.net) uses for its SpamCatcher service.

Here are a couple of other products they might be using:

http://www.eweek.com/print_article/0,3668,a=29562,00.asp
Excerpts:
"MessageLabs will introduce SkyScan AS (Anti-Spam), a service
that routes corporate e-mail through four scanners that tag and
segregate suspected spam messages before forwarding them
to the addressed recipients."

"Sunbelt is readying upgrade IHateSpam."

Has anyone seen any postings, press releases, etc. that
defines what CoreComm uses for its SpamCatcher service?
