My boss wants to try out a service provider for spam

[Matt Hayes]

Steve,

Where I work we do email scanning for spam and viruses.  We do this for
quite a few clients.  We do it for email domains we host and we do it
for email domains that just want the scanning done then hand it off to
their host.

Works quite well.

-Matt
