Thanks Cliff, and everyone else, for the helpful information. We were able to apply the spam filtering attributes which come with Exchange Server 2007, and my users are very pleased with the results they are seeing. The users with the most spam were receiving 100 to 200 a day which has been reduced to 2 for an entire weekend.
Thanks again

Our Barracuda is the best time saving investment my company has
made. As they say "They will send you one to test for 30 days. They have
never had one returned. It takes some fine tuning over time on a very
user friendly interface. I've had mine for two years. I'm going paste a
screen shot in where you will see it have blocked almost 14 MILLION
spams. Also, viruses never get to your exchange server. I use Symantec
Corporate AV. Pre Barracuda I would get 40-50 notifications from the AV
that it caught something a week. Now I get about ONE or TWO a month. I
don't know the size of you company, I have 150 mailboxes and it the best
investment of $2K we have ever made.

We recently started hosting our email on Exchange Server 2007 and my
users have been completely inundated with Spam (previously blocked by
our ISP). Some of the mail is being caught in the junk mailbox for
some of the users, and others it isn't. Can any of you suggest a good
solution for spamblocking? Freeware if possible!
Thanks, Tiffany
