If you are a Business Manger or Administrator planning to buy an anti spam product soon, below is a list of features that a product must have, make sure you check this before you make a decision to buy their product: -
- E-mail Header Analysis and checking
- Real Time DNS Blacklist (DNSBL) Checking
- Greylisting

- Content Scanning (Bayesian Analysis)
- Reputation Checks

Above listed are some core features that must be in an anti spam product. If you think I missed some important features please do let me know.
