spam filtering

[Brian K. White]

I subscribed us to mxlogic several months ago and have been very happy with 
it.
It 's exactly like you describe.

It's practically a life saver really. I was getting several hundred spam per 
day for a long time.
When we turned on mxlogic only about 5 per day actually reached me, and they 
were mostly mails that somehow got submitted directly to the mail host even 
though the mx records pointed at mxlogic. Perhaps spammers know enough to 
just try likely things like "mail.aljex.com" and if it's a mail server, just 
try submitting mail to it, regardless of mx records. I'm surprised I don't 
still get a ton of spam that way come to think of it.

Now the incoming spam has lately dropped to 50 or so per day and 0 actually 
make it through.
