John,

 

You need to find another host. SmarterMail has excellent spam filtering, but it sounds like your current ISP doesn't have it configured very well.

 

There are many good ISPs that hang out in this forum, including ourselves.  If you're interested in switching I guarantee we could significantly reduce or even eliminate the spam delivered to your Inbox without having to use a service like SpamArrest.

 

The problem is, I don't know how to contact you off-list (or post my info).  Let me know if you're interested in trying it out and I'll figure out a way to contact you.

Hi Kevin,

 

I don't doubt that my ISP may be 'somewhat lacking' in optimally configuring SmarterMail for best spam rejection.  

 

I also appreciate your offer, and may wind up taking you up on it.  But first, and solely in the interest of not having to reconfigure a slew of company computers and employee's mobile devices, I'm going to speak with my ISP and see if they can carve off a simple, email-only VPS for a reasonable fee.  

 

Then we'll have our own instance of SM that I can configure - and potentially drop SpamArrest it sounds like (cost savings here would easily fund the VPS).  Would really appreciate if you or someone else could point me towards some documentation that details the optimum spam-killing config for SM v13.2.
