It is completely possible. Go to your e-mail server, walk around back and pull the Ethernet cable out of the NIC. There you go, no more spam. This is an issue with non-technical management, ranks right up there with 100% effective anti-virus. Good luck convincing these guys of anything, they don't sound very reasonable.

My understanding is that spam mitigation is the goal, keeping spam down to where it's not a distraction from business. Our current spam level is roughly 3-6 spams received per user per day. That seems manageable to me, but I'd like the extra ammunition going into the meeting. Can anyone help? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
