Maybe hold off for a month or so!  I'm working on a version of
CanIt called CanIt-ISP.  It sits on your server, but gives each
end-user his/her own dedicated "virtual CanIt" with his own settings,
blacklists, whitelists, etc.  Each person takes care of his/her own
spam, but does not need to install software on his workstation.  If you
have lots of users, this would work out much cheaper than spending $30/user
for SA-Pro.

False alarms are not a problem for CanIt-ISP, because it never deletes
messages without approval (unless the end-user specifically configures
it to.)

CanIt-ISP is still in testing, but I'm looking for beta-test sites.  If
you're interested in trying it out, please let me know.  I'm willing
to reward early adopters with substantial discounts.

Regards,

David.
