SPAM filter w/ Trend's CSM Suite or MS's IMF?

Boy, I'm just posting up a storm today. Any suggestions as to which one to
use and why? For a fleeting second I thought about possibly using both, but
I figured trying to keep track of one SPAM filter would be enough and two
would just be a nightmare.

Thanks,
Phil

 

I find Trend's to be a lot easier to setup and maintain. I'm sure they're
both good and you can't go wrong with your decision.
