Many of you may be experiencing an increase in the amount of spam emails over the past few weeks and it seems to be getting worse as the days go on. Spam is pretty nasty and obscene at times.

Here is what we know. Yes spam is bad. Its getting worse. On a recent report I read, spam is now estimated to be 90% of all email traffic. I don’t know anyone who buys anything from a random junk email, but it must be working otherwise it wold go away. We know its not just our servers, but even big companies like google, yahoo, etc. are also having issues.

For now, you should continue to use the built in junk mail filters on your mail applications. I’d also suggest logging onto the server control panel & doing some “Spam Assassin Training”. Teaching the spam assassin will make it better.
