Comercial Vendors Offering Spam Filtering and Email Hosting

To complex to do it yourself. Would you rather have your email hosted or have a front end spam filtering service clean your email for you and pass the good email on to your existing server? Here is a list of vendors who provide spam filtering services based on Spamassassin.

Spam Filtering Front End Services

These are services that clean your email for you and forward the good email to your server. That way you don't have to do it yourself. You point your MX record to their servers and all your incoming email goes to them, they clean it, and send it on to you.

The advantage is that these people a really deep into Spamassassin and other tools and pay far more attention to spam than you might want to. They usually have multiple servers which can buffer your incoming email should your server go offline. The disadvantage of course is that it costs money and you are trusting someone else with your email. But if you have money and you just want the spam to go away, these services might be what you are looking for.
