    Hi, 

    My apology if i put this question in incorrect category.

    I have exchange 2010 with FPE 2010. We are in planning stage to get antispam appliance to reduce the load of the server. Kindly suggest and help me to compare between appliances

    I knew only barracuda antispam virus firewall 300 appliance which i had worked before was fair enough for antispam protection. 

    We want the end user to validate the spam messages by any link? Also suggest us with the hosted antispam solution which will reduce our cost and burden.

    You mentioned hosted antispam, which leads me to ask if you have heard of Forefront Online Protection for Exchange, which should be similar in at least some respects to the product you are currently using.

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff715134.aspx

    Another product is Google's Postini. I think its been marketed under several forms. We have a subscription that does not cost much but offers no tech support other than an online forum. It seems to catch most of the spam and malware but some got through recently and was fortunately caught by our installed-on-server antivirus.

    Users receive a summary of blocked messages (in an email) and can allow delivery by clicking on a link.

    I know a number of organizations that use a Barrcuda appliance, which seems to have a good reputation among many, but I do not know the product well enough myself to recommend (or recommend against).

    Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

    Here are a few other vendors:
     
    http://www.mcafee.com/us/products/email-gateway.aspx
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10154/index.html
    http://www.websense.com/content/email-security-gateway-features.aspx
     
    I've worked with the McAfee device (originally this was CipherTrust's
    "IronMail" product, then bought by F5, then sold to McAfee) and it's
    quite effective. I've also worked with IronPort, and with Websense
    although I've never like Websense's product.

    Microsoft's Forefront Online Protection (FOPE).
    Postini (now Google).
    Websense
     
    If you can, find a way to get a look at Gartner's "Magic Quadrant"
    report for e-mail security appliances. The vendor web pages usually
    have a link to view the report, but you have to register on their site
    to get access. Not only will you find the top performers, you'll also
    see lot's of "wannabe" products that are usually much less expensive
    and may meet our requirements.
     
    Just be careful when you evaluate their statistics. Just becasue they
    "catch 99.999% of all spam" they may do so by also "catching" a good
    percentage of ham. Watch the "false positive" numbers which are far
    more important.
