Municipalities Improve the Workplace by Stopping Spam with Roaring Penguin Software's CanIt Solutions

Government offices eliminate offensive e-mail content, improve workplace environments with CanIt anti-spam software.

Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) December 9, 2003 ---Municipalities are creating a more comfortable workplace by combating e-mail spam with Roaring Penguin Software's CanIt anti-spam solutions. The Cities of Garden Grove and West Hollywood in California, and the Town of Davidson in North Carolina, have joined the list of government offices enjoying the flexibility and performance of CanIt solutions.

Jeremy Campbell, Information Systems Director at the Town of Davidson, said, Just a few of our users were being inundated by spam, but that alone was accounting for 25% of our mail volume. Offensive spam can create a threatening workplace and sexual harassment issues that we want to protect our employees from experiencing. CanIt was a simple solution for us that works as a gateway in our Exchange e-mail environment."

Brian Ganley, Information Systems Manager at the City of West Hollywood, added, CanIt is catching nearly 100% of our spam, and has made this office a better place to work. Before CanIt, some users were ready to stop using e-mail because of the offensive content that they received. CanIt is a better solution than anything we had hoped for, and Roaring Penguin Software's customer support has been accessible and very responsive."

Noel Proffitt, Senior Information Systems Analyst at the City of Garden Grove, explained, We assessed numerous gateway anti-spam solutions and chose CanIt-PRO because it offered per-user configuration, allowing our individual mail users to determine what they consider to be spam, and how it will be handled. CanIt-PRO also integrated seamlessly with our existing mail environment, so we can use the same mail server, user names and passwords as before."

Based on the acclaimed MIMEDefang e-mail inspection and manipulation software, also developed and maintained by Roaring Penguin, CanIt offers the industry's most complete and flexible anti-spam and anti-virus solution. It can be deployed in any enterprise enterprise e-mail environment, including on all Linux and UNIX servers. As a stand-alone gateway appliance, it can protect e-mail environments running non-UNIX servers, such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes and Novell Groupwise.

CanIt is available in standard and professional versions as either a software download or on a plug-and-play appliance. CanIt-PRO is ideal for very large enterprises, ISPs, and campus environments, where control and management of the system needs to be distributed to individual departments or users.
