Well YeOlde sent me over to his Untangle partner and I had a good talk with Steve @ Untangle.
Little background on what happend.... I have been using Freedom9 Freeguard 100 UTM firewalls for the last year with great result, cheap price, great performer, and great support.....yesterday had a talk with my Freedom9 Rep and he mentioned that the company is leaving this crowded market of SMB Firewalls and going to content filter, monitoring, etc...
So I need to fill my $550-650 market for a UTM Firewall.
So after a little talk with Steve, I got the go ahead from my boss, to go ahead and setup Untangle and test out the spam on our domain compared to Postini.
I am a little hesitant because I have a feeling that Postini will do a better job of spam but I will see.
Anyway server to use:
Dell Poweredge 2650
Dual 2.4 Xeon
2GB
Raid 5 SCSI will change to Raid 1
Is that overkill? Am I just wasting electricity?
So concerns are spam, I haven't dived into there forums yet, but any how to to configure spam to keep up with Postini in accuracy and spam removal?
I will be taking up a reseller, to be honest I think the only thing I would use is the support, but may get a Pro Package for my office and see what I use..... inputs on this?
Look forward to hearing from ya guys, probably bug you more 2morrow YeOlde =p
