SPAM Filtering with Zimbra
-
For those using Zimbra as your email MTA, what do you use for a SPAM filtering solution? Do you just use Zimbra's built in? If so, how are you tuning it as we get terrible results. Are you using a service or a third party product?

Here come the recommendations for Barracuda Spam Filter (physical on premise). . .

I don't know about Zimbra specifically, but I always had good luck with Barracuda's freely available block lists when doing local filtering of emails. Was a bit of a pain to get configured properly, and it's been around 8 years ago now.

How are you finding them? I have used Mimecast in the past, filtering is really good. Obviously more costly though.

think it's only $0.25 per mailbox per month....I'd looked at them and it was not per mailbox, but by per alias. So the actual cost for us was more than O365 or Gmail!

That's a conflicting statement. Is it per email address or not? Aliases are new addresses.
That would be pretty great, if they meant it. But the "pay per address" is what turned us away, we have SO many aliases.

https://www.mxguarddog.com/pricing/Yeah, that page. Pay per address, not mailbox. Per mailbox is what we are hoping for with this kind of service because we have so many domains.
I signed up for the trial to see what happens.

@scottalanmiller Let me know how you get on, interested in how good it is.

SpamHero has been pretty solid for us. I have a reseller account because it allows me to keep track on my client's accounts and you also get individual quarantines for all users without the extra monthly fee ($1/user/month).

Can't you just forward them all to one mailbox?

Yes, they do, but they are all separate on the outside. Hence the issue.

how do they track the users?

First piece, the aliases ARE free, but they have to be aliases in front of the email system, not within the email system. So you have to maintain the aliases externally. Not a huge deal and explains how they do it, but also a big pain and not portable. But fixes the pricing issue.

So they have to be maintained in the MXGuardDog system?
That is the same as wht I have to do with Google's solution.
