Does anyone have any suggestions on a affordable spam solution for notes? By affordable i mean less than $5000

You probably don’t need to spend a dime to address most of your spam problems.

I use a Barracuda Networks Spam Firewall 300. It is a 1U rackmount box, I would assume running some flavor of linux. It costs $1900 plus $300/yr for software updates and another $400/yr for hardware maintenance. That’s it, there are NO per-account, per-user or monthly charges.
It does virus scanning, DNSBL lookups, black and whitelists, per-user quarantines, regular expressions filtering, Bayes filtering, and a whole lot more that I’ve never set up. I run two mail domains on mine, and it supports up to 10 I think. You can have it deliver mail to different domains to different SMTP servers.
HTH,

How about some free ones. Maybe they are sufficient for your needs :-))

or why not place a separate SMTP-Proxy server before your Domino-server which does antispam and virus checking.

Well, I’d look at spamJam (see http://www.gsw.com for info), and last I looked it cost something like $3500 for 1000 users. You don’t say how big you company is, but that might fit your budget. spamJam is also extremely flexible and configurable by user or admin. (No, I don’t get a commission or anything, I’m just a big fan)

IMHO is the best anti spam tool out there and since the price is per user it may be cost effective for you.
Subject: Spam Sifter from INVCS for around $2900
We are using them and love it- zero admin, in fact never had to to configure a black or white list. The big thing we liked about this (and we looked at others, Spam Sentintental, Spam Jam, etc.) is that it’s built by ex-Iris guys and that their they gaurantee no more than 1 in 1,000,000 messages would ever be a false positive. No else (I could find) can make a similar gaurantee. Spam is one thing, losing legit mail b/c of your spam filter is even worse.
Subject: Take a look at MIMEShield
Take a look at MIMEShield. It is a one time cost based off of the number of user seats. It is generally cheaper than any of the anti-spam services or hi-end appliance that are available.
The new release (v 2.5.0) can stop over 99% of the spam. It has the ability to programmatically manage over 90% of the spam so the quarantine stays small. You can have the users manage there own quarantine using notes or web, or you can manage it for them.
It achieves a 99% spam blockage rate by automatically learning the type of mail you normally receive. This new learning system also works well in a multilingual environment.
