Spam Solutions
Unsolicited email or Spam accounts for over 14.5 billion messages globally per day and growing. Most of these unwanted messages fall into the categories of advertising-related emails, adult-related topics and financial matters. However these categories account for only a small portion of the total spam while Identity theft also known as “Phishing” makes up the majority of Spam received.
Is your company inundated with Spam?
Do you want to increase productivity for all your employees? While no technique is a complete solution to the spam problem, with each having some form of trade-offs between incorrectly rejecting legitimate email (false positives) vs. not rejecting all spam (false negatives) then see below our recommended solution.
Some Tips
- Never reply to or click on any links in a spam message
- Do not open attachments
- Don’t click the “Unsubscribe” link (These actions only serve to confirm to spammers that you exist and you are receiving their emails).
- Don’t participate in email forwards
- Preview your messages (If you use Outlook you can preview messages in the preview screen before actually opening them).
