Anti-Spam
Softwares and Hardwares:
1. Spam
is a problem that cannot be ignored. It has to be dealt with, or it will
continue to consume valuable corporate resources.
2. Spam is a slow cancer on your system. Every year, we see more spam,
and every year it
costs more to deal with it. As with a slow growing cancer, it's easy,
but foolish, to try
to ignore it
3. There is no simple cure for spam. Because it is so cheap to send
spam, as long as spammers
get one reply to thousands of sent spams, they will continue to spam.
Given the
international nature of the Internet, local, state, and national laws
will have no effect
on spam. Effectively dealing with spam means you need centralized and
ongoing efforts to
manage and prevent spam.
4. Internal spam has the potential to be the most costly and damaging
your company faces. Companies have faced and lost very expensive
lawsuits when their employees
have sent offensive e-mail to co-workers. Corporate policies that
prohibit these e-mails
have not been an effective legal defense. Even winning a lawsuit can be
expensive in
today's litigious society. It's better to avoid the problem.
5. Spam is only part of the e-mail hygiene problem. When looking at spam
issues,
remember there are related e-mail issues. An integrated solution can
save money
compared to implementing a range of products to address the e-mail
hygiene issues.
Every company should implement an effective anti-spam strategy. You
can't afford not to.
