Spam seems to be a feature of modern life.
But it’s not just a pain in the butt – it costs your business real money.
Nucleus Research reported that an average $31,000-per-year employee spends 16 seconds each on 21 spam messages per day. That works out at $712 per employee each year or about £475 in good old Pounds Sterling.
You can handle spam client side – on your laptop, tablet or phone but it makes much more sense to kill it at source on the server as it arrives. In most cases some basic precautions are adequate. For example, you can tell quite a bit by looking up the domain that sent the message. We check all incoming messages to make sure the sending domain isn’t blacklisted for sending spam. If it is we kill the message for you there and then to save you the bother of reading it.
But sometimes you might get into a situation were the normal precautions are not enough. Too much spam gets through.
If you’re getting too much spam it’s not just a case of tightening the spam filters as that often prevents valid emails from getting through – so it’s time to get a bit clever…
