Always beware of companies that

a) want you to try it before telling you the price
b) that want to know how many mailboxes you've got before telling you 
the price
c) that won't publish their prices

They use some pretty decent tools.  From their website it looks like 
they work on a per server basis.

We give away an exim.conf file that you can use with a blackbox system 
in front of your RaQ, and control spam on a domain-by-domain basis.

For down to mailbox level spam control we offer customization and other 
options.

We offer services as well, and I'm willing to bet you a free dinner at 
the best restaurant in Riverside (don't laugh before you see 
www.missioninn.com (and look at "Duane's Steakhouse"); this is the 
hotel that President Bush stays at when he's in town) that our per 
mailbox rate for complete service is less expensive than their 
subscriptins.

But I'm not suggesting you buy anything from us or from anyone else; 
unless you're offering a spamblocking service at a premium to very 
picky customers you'll be able to do it yourself if you want.  We do
