Harrisonburg City Public School deploys SpamTitan to ease the burden of combating spam

The Solution

• “I looked at a number of options, including a Barracuda appliance, but decided that SpamTitan was the best fit for our profile,” said Hottinger. “The product promised accurate detection, end-user spam controls and didn’t require any high-end hardware.
• SpamTitan was also considerably cheaper than any of the other products I looked at.” Harrisonburg installed SpamTitan in early 2007. According to Hottinger, “Setup was extremely easy. I downloaded SpamTitan ISO and had SpamTitan up and running in under 30 minutes. No configuration or tuning was necessary; it worked right out of the box.”
• “Spam often contains inappropriate or offensive subject matter and we needed to protect our students from that. SpamTitan has done an excellent job of ensuring that such material doesn’t find its way into their inboxes.” 
• SpamTitan is a turn-key email security solution which has been designed to be easily managed by organizations of all size, even those with extremely limited in-house technical resources.
• Some anti- spam solutions do not provide end-users with a mechanism to access quarantined items, SpamTitan, however, provides end-users with complete control over their own spam via Quarantine reports. A digest of quarantined emails is delivered to end-users and, using the links in the digest, users can specify whether an email is to be delivered, deleted or its sender whitelisted.
• “The feedback I've had from both faculty and staff has been very positive. They like seeing the emails that have been marked as spam and being able to choose to deliver or delete them.” SpamTitan also has only a minimal management overhead.
