AntiSpam Product Reviews
The team was not charged with selecting a specific product to be used or
officially supported at Penn and thus did not fully test the products discussed
or do an exhaustive review of products available. Team members conducted
reviews of a number of anti-spam products, primarily to act as a guide to
the sorts of issues that will have to be addressed by anyone considering
implementation of such a solution.

Brightmail Anti-Spam 4.0 Enterprise Edition
