We have Exchange IMF running only. &nbsp;We used to have Symantec, but the license expired. &nbsp;I would like to put in place Ironport, but as always IT funding is low. &nbsp;I might have to look at an open source product. &nbsp;Any recommendations? I know of SpamAssassin.

I've noticed that spammers are taking advantage of the 'Out of Office' reply. &nbsp;I have many users responding to the spam by means of there 'Out of Office' reply. &nbsp;So once that user responds to the spam, it continues to come into that users inbox.<br />
<br />
How can you put a stop to the spam once the 'Out of Office' replied to it already? &nbsp;I'm attempting to freeze them on the Exchange server, but I can't keep up with them. &nbsp;<br />

Examples of the spam email:<br />

This is a very clever way to spam legitimate accounts. &nbsp;Spammers are getting smarter. <br />
