This paper is a case study detailing the replacement of a commercial E-mail<br />filtering system with one made up of all Open Source Software. The main goals<br />were to reduce delivery time, increase accuracy of spam and Malware detection<br />and to reduce operating costs.<br />The new system performed exceptionally well, catching a majority of E-mail<br />borne viruses and spam with a total false positive rate not far off the target of less<br />than one percent. The delivery times for inbound E-mail dropped considerably<br />and were well below tolerable levels. Other than man hours spent researching<br />and configuring the new system, there was no money spent implementing it.
