    Overall Interscan Messaging Security is a good program to have for blocking email spam.
    These are the reasons why we chose InterScan Messaging: - It checks incoming emails for spam and virus attachment before it even reaches your mail server. - It is a standalone product that you can install on a Virtual Machine or a physical server and it works on the gateway. - Best practice security configuration is already applied after the installation so you don't need to confugure anything else. - You can block email, domains and you can modify the spam threshold level. - You can create rules for each user or group. - You can monitor inbound and outbound emails. But who would monitor spam in outbound mail anyway.
