[exim] Mail Frontier

We are just about done with a test eval of Mail Frontier's Appliance.
It is a stand alone box that we pass all our mail through and it deals
with spam issues.

In our test, we ran our current system with SA and for the first week
just had it look at the mail without any interaction. It clearly was
catching mail we were not.

We then added 50 or so users so that any possible spam was caught by
its junk mailbox system and the results have been really good. It
easily beats SA for catching spam.

The problem however is the cost.

Using their appliance with our current ~4000 users would cost ~$30k
for the first year and $13k each year afterwards. I've asked for
pricing on just thier software which we could then run on our own
server in hopes it will be a lot less, but I suspect it is still going
to be a too much.

Currious if anyone else has been running this?

As I said, the results have been great, I've not had to adjust a thing
for more than a week and it is catching everything... but that will
end tomorrow when the test keys end.
