CanIt, an industry-leading anti-spam solution from Roaring Penguin Software, Inc., makers of the acclaimed MIMEdefang email inspection software, currently serves more than 7,000 mailboxes at Ithaca College.

Lesli LaRocco, systems administrator at Ithaca College explains, We needed thorough spam protection and the ability for end users to choose their level of scanning through a clear, simple interface. CanIt-PRO offers both, along with a well-designed administrative interface."

Ithaca College has deployed the professional version of CanIt, CanIt-PRO, which enables the IT department to decentralize spam management so that individual departments and users can tailor spam policies to their specific needs.

CanIt enables us to do just that, and in a way that gives the end users control over their individual spam filtering settings."
