I've found that the technical problems are fairly trivial but the user problems are significant. Unless you're talking about employees (whom you can dictate terms to) it's very hard to find a level of spam filtering that doens't annoy the users... too little for some... to much for others.. no body is every really happy. > > 2) What tools to you recommend.

It (optionally) runs in a client server mode so can be quite light weight if you're filtering lots of messages. M. P.S.
