Email spam SBS 2008 Exchange 2007
Hello,
I have a client that I am sure I have needed help with on here before, but I am having an issue figuring out what I can't seem to block all their spamz!
They are currently using Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange Server 7.0.0.63 with today's updates (I have downloaded the latest version of the software 7.0.1.66 but according to Symantec tech support, it won't help with this issue).
everyone is getting 4 or 5 emails a day currently (from what they tell me) and a lot of the time they have zipped .exe files attached.
Previously I had them running Microsoft Forefront security for Exchange Server 2010, and they got about 1 spam a week total!
Is Symantec just not as good of a product? or am I doing something wrong?
I can provide screen shots of the policies and settings.
Here are the statistics in the last hour:
thanks!

I would. But it is a highly subjective topic. My opinion will obviously be different from others.

Well, I worked with Symantec Tech Support forever and they seem to be working ok now.
I started a new job, and am hoping their new tech has better luck with Symantec! lol
they are only receiving a couple spams a week total rather than the 5 per user per day it was before!

Are you now using Vamsoft?

Back to just Symantec.
Vamsoft was awesome though, I did play with a trial of Vamsoft, the monitoring of emails was awesome! if Symantec starts having issues again, I will recommend it for the new guy to install.

Would it be worth leaving Symantec Mail Security setup, and filtering email through Microsoft first?
