Anti Spam Engine: Time-Tested Scanning

Overview

The proliferation of spam will increase. That is a fact. Secure Computing's July 2008 report reveals that numbers far exceeded global expectations. Spam rose 280% from July 2007 to July 2008. The year's peak was on March 27, with 185 billion spam messages sent that day. It should be noted that spam laws are often ineffectual, for they are hard to enforce and many governments choose to turn a blind eye. As new spammers enter the fray and as all spammers refine their tactics, the threat to the business community will only rise. Spam is more than a nuisance because its management can cut sharply into a company's bottom line, and because it can carry malware.
