E-mail environment

• Mix of systems including SUN iPlanet, Groupwise, MS Exchange and Sendmail.

Need for a solution

• A way for users to authenticate with the system with credentials that were already in place
• An interface that allowed users to opt-in or opt-out
• A solution that provided varying levels of spam filtering as opposed to 'all or nothing'

Results

• Reduced amount of hardware required for anti-virus scanning
• Students can now opt-in, opt-out, or choose their spam-scanning preference
• Reduced load on mail servers
• Now protecting 20,000+ students and staff from junk e-mail
