@JaredBusch I've also used spamhero.com as already mentioned above for basic SPAM filtering and would recommend the service to any SMB. The Interface and learning curve to setup is very low. They start at $5/mon for unlimited SPAM filtering.
If the $5 plan is unlimited, what causes the price to go up?

Looks like it's based mostly on message volume, not the number of users.

LOL, that's pretty limited
Not a bad price, but "unlimited", it is not. -

Not completely, but pretty heavily. That's useful for people who have a bazillion variations of names for just a few people so that the other huge limits aren't a big deal. But I know of no person and certainly no business like this. And it's all those variations... within a single domain, a limit of 1. That's huge. I don't have a single customer with just a single domain these days. Tiny businesses like that must exist somewhere, but it's very uncommon. I know you (Dash) have more than one for your medical practice. I think NTG has somewhere around forty. Nearly every business has at least a couple.

sure - we do, but in reality - we could ditch the old one, we never use it for email.

@scottalanmiller They allow "aliases", which can be different domains. As long as they go to the same mail server they do not count as additional accounts. Not sure if this is good for the scenario you were describing or not. For web resellers using a control panel like cpanel, you could put all of your customers from a single cpanel server on one account at spamhero with one domain and hundreds of aliases!

From their website:
Pricing - Those that sign up now will have access to the reseller program at no extra charge (forever). Existing and new subscriptions that are added to your reseller account will be billed at the reseller price (which is currently the same pricing you enjoy as a retail customer). In the future, we anticipate that current pricing will only be available to resellers, and rates for retail customers will increase.

If it all goes to the same mail server, that would still allow cPanel to do that. Those are basically always just one server.

And I was pointing out that for a web reseller, there would only be a single email server so if it works that was, the $5 plan would do it for that huge volume if that was the only limit.

Right, that's what I thought I was saying. I'm striking out too much today. Time to call it a night and have a drink

@JaredBusch We use Mimecast and its great. Not sure about base pricing though.
-
SpamExperts (warning owned by Solarwinds): There is one option where the price is per domain, no limits.
It is not perfect, but if you take some time training it it works very well. -

That's why vendors should charge by the email and not by users. Because email volume is the only way to truly calculate compute usage to process spam.
Charging by users seems pointless. What if the user only has 10 emails a month or maybe a single user gets 10k emails a month. The cost would be significantly different for vendor in that situation.

Of course that makes sense - but customers rarely care about that.
This is the only spam filter that I've seen use message count and not user count.

I've definitely seen this and I agree that this is the best way to go. Doing it by user is necessarily expensive, like giving unlimited "per user" calls. Nothing is cheaper than paying per minute actually used.

Looks like I'm paying $22.49/m right now.. Nice savings if I move.
