    One of our SEP antivirus client is facing spam problem on their mail. They are running their mail server on Debian server. All their clients are using microsoft windows OS and MS outlook. 
    Now they want an antispam solution on their network. Which Symantec product is applicable or  can protect spam in this network ?

    SMSE will not work, this product is designed to work together with Microsoft Exchange server only. You have basically 2 options from Symantec: Email Security.cloud http://www.symantec.com/email-security-cloud?fid=email-security You use the anti-spam / anti-virus solution in the cloud of Symantec Symantec Messaging Gateway http://www.symantec.com/messaging-gateway?fid=email-security Either as a physical appliance, or as a software appliance on VMware or MS Hyper-V. If your client wants to maintain the service by themselves or via you as the partner, and requires the data to be handled within the clients network, the messaging gateway is your solution to choose. You can either purchase physical appliances or deploy it on an existing VMware or Hyper-V farm in your clients environment. If they do not have any requirements to keep the solution on premises, the cloud option is certainly a great offer. You will need to offer your client an overview of the costs for both and have them decide on which path to take.

    We have used Symantec.Cloud/MessageLabs for our email filtering for several years now and it works very well.  We have recently migrated to Exchange, but when we started with Message Labs, we were using Sun Messaging Server.  

    It doesn't catch everything, but it definitely catches the vast majority of it.  You just route all of your incoming mail through their servers and that's that.  If you choose, you can also use their 'address registration' service, which basically prevents any mail from being delivered to your server for an email address that hasn't been 'registered' with them.
