Re: [PLUG] Spam Elimination
|
I use a third party company that kill all spam and
viruses from touching our infrustructure. Messagelabs
do a fine job! Albiet at a cost per mail sent/recieved
the amount of traffic reduction and users resources
with not having to delete and maintain there mailbox
make it worth while.
