We've had a 400 up for 3 months now, very nice box. It's doing pretty good with handling false positives, and the updates are very frequent. One of the nice things for us is the ability to do per domain / per user quarantines for clients that want that ability. It also has an 'Exchange Accelerator' to tie into LDAP on exchange servers. We've not had any serious through put issues so far, but only pushing 500K mails a day so far. Christopher Brown Concergent, LLC Wichita, Kansas -----Original Message----- From: Jared B.

It is very cool in virtually every regard except one: performance. We were facing 1+ hour mail delays (!) through the device when pumping less than 1,000,000 messages per day through it. Given that they claim it can handle ten times that much, I am left wondering what happened. Very disappointing in that regard; the eval unit is being shipped back as a result. -- Jared At 11:35 AM 5/17/2004, Claydon, Tom wrote:
Doing evaluations on anti-spam, anti-virus solutions, and ran across this:

Looks like a good box -- even won an Editor's Choice award from Network Computing recently.
Does anyone on list have any experience with these boxes? If so, how are they with false positives, quarantine capabilities, etc?
Thanks, Tom Claydon Dobson Telephone
