As an IT manager, I would spend several hours every day attending to emails from my employees regarding spam. Like me, I'm sure you would also be receiving dozens of spam emails every day. You too, have probably wasted countless hours on this junk mail.

Spam. Don't You Hate It?

You've got enough work and other things to do without having to sift through a bunch of worthless, or offensive junk e-mails in your Inbox.

So what can be done about it? What antispam procedures and software really work?

Spam filtering software is the first stop in your antispam campaign, but in some ways it's the easiest to subvert.

Two versions of antispam filtering products are Bayesian and heuristic filters, which try to identify offensive messages through recognition of phrases. SpamAssassin by Apache is probably the best known example of heuristic filtering. What these filters are doing that the more basic ones aren't is looking at the message itself rather than the subject header. Both Bayesian and heuristic filters have shortfalls in that they depend on their filtering reliability on frequency.
