Re: [ST] Spam



The difference with the free ones vs the pay for ones is generally in their ability to be effectively managed in an enterprise, as well as the general granularity of control.  For the home user, the free ones are good and work well.  For the enterprise, they can be a management nightmare.

Marc, the gmail address is a completely new address. So no wonder that there's
no spam (yet). Still, the spam filter they use is very good in my
opinion. For you,
you still have to find out how good it is, but you can check the spam
folder in the
gmail interface online how good the filter is (occassionally non-spam can end up
there, make sure you check in the beginnning).

About other commercial companies offering anti-spam, anti-worm and other
stuff like that, you often see that the free ones are best. Microsoft spyware is
the best spyware finder-killer so far and is free. McAffee, although
very good at
finding virusses, is one of the worst spyware programs eventhough it's
commercial.
Same with the free zonealarm firewall, which used to be better than commercial
programs (don't know how that is now).

I guess a lot of software is like BMW motorcycles, you certainly don't get what
you pay for ;-).
