Do you guys recommend message labs mail filtering...

its the one in which you don't do much... they filter the mails for you...

Does anyone use that? does it protect well against VIRUS + SPAM?

Mailscanner is Linux/Unix only.

We were using Messagelabs and it does work extremely well and even blocks the phising emails. However using a service such as this means you cannot effectivly do spam filtering yourself.
We went for amavisd-new which is like mailscanner and spamassassin for spam filtering and canceled messagelams instead of getting the spam filtering option from messagelabs aswell mainly for cost cutting reasons but also so that we could tune the spam filtering ourselves.

Richard,

I was looking at messagelabs for the outsourcing.... any apparent differences between content catcher and messagelabs?

Thanks so much for the detailed analysis
