how do we best deal with it. According to the experts it’s not going to be an in-house solution: That takes on all the spam into the company and saves it in a massive pit known as a “quarantine” .Entailing management in the form installing, patching, updating, maintaining – having to search for possible legitimate mail within.

Then of course there SAAS solutions or more specifically the MSP’s promising to scan mail before reaching a companies mail server. Advantages: Lower IT overhead in time, money, resources; gain an outsourced partner specializing in Spam & none of the disadvantages mentioned above as with the in-house solutions.

Nearly every MSP is based on the same technology; they intercept the sender’s mail, store it to disk, send a confirmation back to the sender, scan the mail, and then send the mail to the recipient. There is only 3 problems with this technology (1) mail is been stored to disk: Privacy is been compromised & (2) Delivery Guarantee, as you have not received a confirmation from recipient but the MSP you do not know how long that mail takes to deliver that mail or if it has been delivered at all & (3) Blacklists- anybody can be put on there by anybody and it can take up to 24 hours to be taken off.

Of all the solutions I have looked only one does not operate in this manner as it carries a exclusive Patent whereby mail is sent in 1 SMPTP session to the recipient, mail is filtered in RAM & monitors bad IP behavior, refreshing every 6 seconds to determine if it’s a bad IP or not.
