Hi Roberto,
..Just checking to see if a future implementation of a 'sender policy framework' is still in the works. I hope so as this could be very promising if it gains enough steam.

one more wish...
If you do include the SPF feature in the future it would be great if we could give that priority over whitelisting. I know in the past people have asked to be able to set their own order of operations, but just being able to adjust this would be very helpful.

Thanks again.

Roberto, I dare say that most mail servers have some form of anti-virus running on them already so maybe there's a way to tell during the install. What I'm thinking is that multiple anti-virus engines running on a single mail server may cause problems. For the 12 or so installs of SFISP we have they all have some form of virus protection already installed that filters out virus emails. So maybe an option to install or not install this "add-on" would be nice. <G>

Roberto will there be a cost increase with the addition of using a third party for anti-virus in SFISP?  As I suspect a large portion of SF users already have anti-virus implimentations in place and would probably not want to pay for a feature they don't need.

Roberto,

I'd like to chime in on this topic.  We are very interested in seeing the SpamFilter antivirus solution.  Besides all of the different "types" of users that have been mentioned, there are a few of us who have an AV solution, but we are not satisfied with it... and would have much more faith in LogSat to provide an effective and reasonably-priced solution than our current vendor (this vendor will remain unnamed; I do not want to focus any attention on this sad excuse for a communications software company or inadvertently send any business their way).

We are still running their content filtering application that includes antivirus.  When we licensed this app nearly five years ago, it was "state of the art" and a very good package at an affordable price.  But then, the company was sold, and you can guess what happened... the new ownership group focused on sales, sales, sales, and forgot about product development.  They shut down the support center, dismissed the 10 year veterans who knew the company's software inside-out, and turned this job over to their in-house help desk people who thought "RBL" was chat-room slang for "Really Bad Looking."  They force-fed updates by making support prohibitively expensive on everything but their latest release, and charged ever-increasing prices for these bug-filled software releases.  It was our strong dissatisfaction with this company, their practices and their new pricing structure that sent us searching for alternatives. 

SpamFilter is handling ALMOST all of the content filtering capability that was once handled by this application, and doing a job that's ten times better for about 1/3rd of the price.  The only reason we still need to have the old application around is its virus filter (which uses a Norman AntiVirus engine -- the AV engine itself works great). 

If LogSat comes out with an affordable alternative that would allow me to drop this content filtering application once and for all, you can count me in!
