Mail Appliances?

[Paul Hutchings <pa...@mira.co.uk>]

Appreciate this may not be 100% the best place to ask, but I'm
struggling to think of anywhere better other than Usenet.

I'm currently running a box that I've configured to run Postfix plus
Spamassassin, it works, but it's the usual "Only I know about it and if
it fails or I get hit by a bus" etc.

So I'm looking for an appliance that will do basic in/out mail relay
with antivirus and antispam filtering, that will allow me to route mail
on a per domain basis and do all the usual custom whitelists and
blacklists etc.

I'm struggling as once I get past Barracuda Networks I'm not sure who is
"big" or "good" at these things.  For example I don't want something
that is very effective but where the company is two guys from Texas with
a snappy website IYSWIM.

I'd really appreciate any pointers, and apologies for being slightly OT
- any suggestions where to go (polite ones!) would be appreciated.

cheers,
Paul

Have a look at the DefenderMX range (and something new due any day now),
from www.fsl.com.

Basically is a commercial version of MailScanner (with added stuff on
it).
