We install and support SpamAssassin installations for school districts
and sell the BrightMail Anti-Spam for commercial accounts. BrightMail
costs around $41,000 for a two year subscription for 1,500 mailboxes and
works very well with no maintenance of cf files, rules or updates and
almost no false positives.
SpamAssassin works just well as long as you keep the rules and cf files
up to date at least once a month.. However, the false positives are
greater, requiring monitoring of quarantine folders. You know the price
for SpamAssassin.

Subject: Requesting Feed Back on Brightmail Anti-Spam server
My company is looking into purchasing Brightmail Anti-Spam Server. I
would like to try to convience them to use SpamAssassin running on a
linux server. I was wondering if anyone has information about the pros
or cons of Brightmail as compared to SpamAssassin.
Thanks
Jerry
