Quinnipiac University Deploys Roaring Penguin Software’s CanIt-PRO Anti-Spam Solution
CanIt Appliance protects Exchange servers, network and users from spam and viruses.
Ottawa, Ontario (PRWEB) October 12, 2004 -- Quinnipiac University in Hamden,
Connecticut, has responded to its e-mail users’ call for relief from spam while
also protecting its systems from viruses, with Roaring Penguin Software’s CanIt
Appliance. CanIt-PRO is stopping spam and viruses before they reach Quinnipiac’s
Exchange mail servers or client machines.
Edward T. Keegan, Quinnipiac’s
Director, Systems Technology and Planning, said, “Roaring Penguin’s CanIt-PRO
was recommended to us by other campuses in the New England area. We evaluated
the product and it met all our criteria. We are very pleased with the
results.”
John Scott, Project Manager for the anti-spam and anti-virus
project at Quinnipiac, added, “We needed an edge appliance to stop and hold
suspect mail without interacting with our Exchange servers – we wanted that
traffic off of our network entirely. In addition, however, we also wanted to
give our users the opportunity to manage that e-mail, view messages in their
Spam Traps, and approve or reject those messages. With CanIt-PRO on the
appliance, we achieved all our goals.”
The university deployed CanIt-PRO
in a default opt-out state and introduced it to various groups of users over
time. Faculty receiving as many as 100 spam messages a week were some of the
first to be invited to opt-in to protection from CanIt-PRO. Quinnipiac’s IT team
is also using the Clam AntiVirus software that is bundled with CanIt-PRO, and
has configured the solution to scan for viruses and particular mail attachments
before filtering for spam.
CanIt-PRO is ideal for campuses, ISPs and
large organizations where global filtering policies must be balanced with
individuals’ ability to have the final decision over what is and is not spam.
CanIt™ products offer the industry's most complete and flexible anti-spam and
anti-virus solutions. They can be deployed in any enterprise e-mail environment,
including on all Linux and UNIX servers. As a stand-alone gateway appliance,
CanIt can protect e-mail environments running non-UNIX servers, such as
Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes and Novell Groupwise.
A trial version of
CanIt or CanIt-PRO can be obtained at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/anti_spam/get_canit_request.php.
