We have about 70 email accounts and only 1 domain. We are running Merak Mail version 9.2.1 on a Dell PowerEdge with XP Pro. I am the Network Administrator, but I do not have much experience with configuring AntiSpam settings/filters on mail servers. Spam is getting out of control for many users, some receiving as much as 50-75 junk emails per hour. I have dabbled with the settings a little on Merak, I've read numerous articles about configuration and watched the configuration video that Merak put out a while back....but nothing seems to have made much of a difference.
I have attached a couple of the configuration files, and am willing to provide screenshots of my configuration or any other info, if necessary. I am at wits end trying to adjust these filters to a reasonable level that doesn't impede good/valid mail from getting through. Also, we are a Non-profit organization, so please don't suggest external filters that we would have to purchase.
One more thing...not sure if it's helpful or not, but we do also use AVG AntiVirus Network Edition (currently still on version 7.5) which has an AntiSpam option. I believe this is a client-side filter (Outlook 2003), but not sure. And at the moment, it is disabled. However, if you think this would be a better alternative, I'd be more than willing to use that instead/or along-side Merak's.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, I am willing to provide my email address or phone number (assuming that this is allowed on EE??) if someone thought it might be easier to guide me that way. Thank you.
