Dark Traffic E-mail Report 2005-05-24 11:26:56

Dark Traffic currently represents up to 70 percent of all inbound e-mail traffic. It is made up of spam, Directory Harvest Attacks (DHA), e-mail Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, malformed SMTP packets, invalid recipient addresses, and other requests and communications unrelated to the delivery of valid e-mail messages. With most solutions available today, it is difficult to identify and block these kinds of e-mail security threats. And the deeper these messages get into an organization’s e-mail network, the greater the cost and higher the security risk. The Dark Traffic Report defines and analyzes e-mail security information gathered through a combination of research interviews with enterprise IT and e-mail administrators, and taps of raw e-mail network data aggregated from traffic monitors positioned in top enterprises throughout the US.

Protecting Exchange Against Spam 2006-10-20 01:00:16 TechGenix

Unsolicited e-mail, more commonly known as spam is a rising and complex problem. Unlike viruses, spam mail does not have a clear and cut signature. Anyone could send an e-mail one wouldn't want to receive so determining which e-mail a person definitely would not want to accept can be tricky. Various anti-spam packages exist. However, integrating them into the mail systems is not trivial. They have so many options that may help to prevent spam but can also cause a lot trouble and increase "Where is my mail" type help desk calls. This paper covers most aspects of combating spam to make it easier for the reader to decide which solution is best for his needs.
