SpamFoo so far?

Question asked by Jay Altemoos - 9/29/2026 at 2:02 PM

Unanswered

If you are using SpamFoo, how has it been so far? I am looking at implementing another spam filter solution to our mail server.

Also was there any mention of price yet?

Another, as in addition to what you already have, or as a replacement for what you have?

I ask because SpamFoo along with some RBLs, SPF, and DKIM in SmarterMail can essentially eliminate spam. This avoids the need for multiple tools like Cyren and Message Sniffer, which was kind of necessary before.

Hello Tim and Team,

I can't find where how SpamFoo works for the final user. For example: Only in webmail when make a message to junk e-mail the spamFoo reindexes internall information or If using IMAP or MAPI and move the message to Junk Email Spamfoo reindexes messages?

With Best Regards,

@Tim Uzzanti

We are currently using SpamAssassin-in-a-Box along with Declude, while they do a decent job, we recently ran across an issue with Declude that is impacting one of our clients and may not be fixable. We tried MessageSniffer previously and it was a waste of $$$, it barely caught anything. We don't use Cyren either, which from my understanding is getting replaced by SpamFoo. I would like to conitnue using SpamAssassin and use that along with SpamFoo and replace declude.

So I was just curious how affective it has been along with any issues I might face.
