Hi,

I already have Symantech Mail Security for Exchange. I want to test GFI MailEssentials to reduce the number of spam emails that we get. Are their any known issues with using the two side by side?

I am using Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003?

Thanks.

I have the same setup and I recently installed GFI. Our server was being overwhelmed by 100,000 spams a day. The directory harvesting feature of GFI works great. We still get some spam b/c the baynesian filter hasn't been fully trained. The one glitch I've come across is that I have to restart the smtp service about once a week. Something happens and I wind up with thousands of outgoing SMTP connectors in the exchange queues. GFI tech support recommended that I have virus scans exclude the Program Files>GFI folder and the Windows> Temp folder. That helped, but did not entirely clear the problem.
