Spam Doubles - Ouch!
The NYT is reporting a DOUBLING of spam - and while and extra serving during the holiday season might sound great for apple pie - no one is happy about the burden this is placing on end users, let alone IT professionals who are charged with trying to keep inboxes both lean and meaningful.
Unfortunately, there aren’t any one size fits all solutions. But here are some quick tips:
Visit www.techsoup.org and check out Teck Soup Stock. They routinely offer a host of tools that can help.
If you are hosting your own mail via Exchange Server or SBS 2003, ask your IT professional about Intelligent Message Filtering, or IMF. We implementat that here at NPower, and that helped a lot!
At the begining of the year, there was a lot of conversation in the nonprofit community about Spam, mail delivery and the like, spurred on by a bill in Congress (which didn’t pass) about Network Neutrality (which had some implications) as well as by a new service offered by Goodmail - we’ll see if either of those items rise to the top with the recent news about spam volumes.
