| I'm now finishing my first month of using Ewall, and have to say, this is the
best product I think I have ever used. Not only because it does what it
should, but because what it does is so effective, and gives me such complete
control over my emails, at a reasonable cost.
I'm using Ewall, with Paranoid, in conjunction with ArgoSoft Mailserver Pro,
and have also done some testing using Ewall with Imail, and Software602
LanServer software. Results were EXCELLENT in all cases!!
First and foremost, the virus and spam protection (Paranoid) is incredible.
The integrated virus scanning, combined with AVG7, has stopped EVERYTHING
coming its way, including a few sneaks that I keep for testing... it caught
them all, and handles them beautifully.
Im seeing a DRASTIC increase in spam detection over any other tool that I
have ever used, and I have gotten ZERO false positives. This is so much
more effective than using 'dnsbl' tools, particulary as many of my users
receive valid email that was very often being idetnified as spam. With a
little tweaking and dictionary building, Ive set ewall to add *SPAM* if the
spam probability is 50%-60%, and to reject the message if its over 60%. I
know from the past month that I could remove the 50-60 barrier and just
reject 50% +, but Im leaving this for the comfort of my users. They were
actually getting VERY NERVOUS when their spam disappeared, and they were
sure that they must have been missing valid emails.
Which is what I love about the rest of this product. In testing my spam,
and other, rules, I am able to move mail to folders, append subject lines,
text messages, add recipients, send autoreplies - so many features to give
total control over the server. (A server hosting 20 very diverse domains I
might add, ranging from non profit organizations to a 100 user business
domain - with very different requirements !). It allows me to completely
monitor , test and diagnose my new rules before putting them into full
implementation, and lets me keep my accounts fully informed as to what is
being identified for what reasons.
I looked for a long time for a product, such as this, that runs on MS
Windows platform, and Im so happy that I found Ewall (and paranoid).
Kudos to Alex (and Bart) for an excellent job !! |
