Protecting Faculty, Staff and Students at Metropolitan Community College of Kansas City From Spam and Viruses With Messaging Architects' Secure Email Firewall

Metropolitan Community College of Kansas City, MO, consists of six separate locations across Kansas City with a total of over 4300 faculty and staff and about 25,000 students. MCC has been recognized throughout the USA for the excellence and innovation of the academic programs. Every student enrolled in a college program is granted an email account, which is then kept active for an indefinite period of time, as students often come back to school at a later period in their life. Over the past 3 years, MCC has been protecting its messaging infrastructure from spam, viruses, and other internet-borne threats with Messaging Architects' Advanced Email Firewall. Recently, they upgraded their system to the Linux-based appliance that was released at the beginning of the year.
