Anyone using Symantec anti-spam appliance?

[Marlon Brown]

Hi,

I am making plans to buy the Symantec SBS3000 appliance to combat spam.

If anyone has experience with such appliance and solution, please let me
know whether that works well for you. If you don't have experience with
this, please ignore questions below:

Also, where did you setup the appliance? On the internal network or in the
'semi-trusted or perimeter' network?

How do your users access and control the appliance if they are from the
external network (OWA)?

In addition to SMTP, which ports did you open from the appliance to the
internal network (if they are in a semi-trusted perimeter network)?

I have on and I love it. We use to get 1000s of spam emails, I personally had
at least 200 every day. Now i'm down to one per week or so that makes it
through.

I have it behind a firewall. I'm doing internal NAT from the Firewall. I
only have SMTP and Https open to the outside so that my OWA users can check
their spam Quarantine.

Again its awsome although indiniably expensive but the folks write the
checks don't seem to mind since before it they had to go through docens of
spam items to get to their emails now they don't.

Thank you !
It seems you put yours in the 'internal' network (not in a semi-trusted
DMZ'.

Do you know whether you configuratio requires ports accessing the domain
controllers, GC/LDAP?
