Small environment (<20 users) is using Terminal Server sessions as client
desktops all day every day. Outlook runs in TS sessions. No Exchange Server
nor any other email server, all pop their Internet email into Outlook.

They need an antispam solution. Any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive
and easy to maintain solution??

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best to run the anti-spam on the POP server. Doesn't your email provider
offer this?

I've never had to use an anti-SPAM client in a corporate environment, let
alone on terminal server, but for home use "I Hate Spam" has worked well.

I'd check with your email provider to see if they offer SPAM Assassin or
some other SPAM filtering software for their POP server.

Try www.blackspider.com: that delivers the best results i've ever seen.
Basic thing is: mail will be delivered to blackspider first and thereafter
to your current mailserver. Users get their own reports and can release
quarentained items. The administrator ofcourse has more options. All
webbased...

Email provider no help, per the customer who talked to them -- big ISP, too,
we were disappointed. Called Sunbelt Software (iHateSpam) tech support before
I posted the first time. They said they had not tested iHateSpam for Outlook
in a TS setting but did not think it would work. We'll probably test the
BlackSpider solution Hans mentioned, that sounds like the best idea.
THANKS for the response!

I have the same configuration. http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/ works
perfectly and it is free.
