Snowshoe Spam Campaigning

jparocua
Hi,

I'm currently using the Sophos Virtual Email Appliance for email filtering.  As of late, we have had terrible luck with a lot of SPAM getting through.  We've identified this SPAM as snowshoe.  

My question is the following.  Can you please provide your experience with SPAM, specifically with snowshoe SPAM?  Are those of you using the UTM product seeing a lot of SPAM coming through your filter?  

Just for comparison, I'm seeing about 100 SPAM messages coming through our filter (From Oprah, to Slim down, to Mortgage rates, to Russian women)

I'm trying to gauge whether I should be switching to the UTM product, or another vendor altogether.

Thanks!

    Hi, jparocua and jacobhelm, and welcome to the User BB!

    Those problems look like misconfigurations to me.  Here are the recent results of an audit of the UTM at one site: 

    Delivered          17.9%

    Rejected           78.6%

    Quarantined         1.2%

    Rejected Spam       2.3%

    Bounced             0.0%


    Cheers - Bob
