So around that time, I decided it just wasn’t worth it and outsourced mail scanning to the cloud – and never looked back. By 2010 the kind of effort required to keep up with the above was something I particularly found resource intensive, even though much of it I was delegating to my team. During that time I had to understand a lot about where spam and associated malware comes from and what techniques work well against it. Between 20 I spent a lot of time working with on-premise solutions which processed hundreds of thousands of clean mail each day and deflected many orders more spam.
Because of the load it can put on systems and your networks, the larger the company the less value in running it yourself.įirst of all, let me give you a bit of background. In today’s modern world of spam and malware filtering, I’m of the opinion it’s not always worthwhile running spam filtering software on-premise.
