whitepaper University Limits Spam, Reduces IT Costs With E-Mail Filtering Service0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Ireland's oldest and most famous university, Trinity College Dublin, was fighting a growing spam problem. Each day, university staff and students received dozens of unsolicited e-mail messages, forcing them to spend the first half-hour of their day deleting unwanted, and sometimes offensive, messages. Of the 20 million messages sent and received each month, 80 percent were spam, overloading the university's servers, tying up IT staff, and delaying the receipt of legitimate e-mail by up to two to three hours. To confront this problem, Trinity deployed Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services, a hosted solution for spam filtering. The solution has greatly cut back the number of unsolicited e-mail messages, dramatically increasing staff and student productivity.

whitepaper IronPort Helps a Nationwide Carrier Stop Wireless Threats2007-09-18 Cisco Systems
  Wireless communications continues to grow and evolve in a dynamic fashion. One particular area of emerging technology is wireless messaging. With large numbers of subscribers, wireless operators continue to look for ways to increase Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) with advanced features such as Short Message Service (SMS) and Multi Media Messaging (MMS). Since SMS leverages the same infrastructure as wireless voice calls, the effect of spam is substantially more severe. Before choosing IronPort a major wireless provider had been fighting spam using open source anti-spam solutions - running on an open source Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). IronPort delivered a solution that eliminated in excess of 95 percent of spam and increased throughput and availability.
