subject: Attacking the global market [print this page] The invention of the electronic message, or e-mail as it is now commonly known, changed the way we communicate forever. It allows us to communicate in real time and in print, making it a perfect business tool, and virtually every business in the Western world will have some level of e-mail usage even if it is simply to place orders with suppliers. This in turn gives advertisers a colossal potential market and rather than making their mail shot messaging refined, that is to say only sending advertising e-mails to people that are likely to want their products or services, they send them to many email addresses all at once.
These unwanted messages are referred to as spam and they are fast becoming one of the biggest nuisances on the internet. Every time you open your inbox you have to spend time removing them, and if you have a business with a network of computers then everyone on the network is likely to get the same messages. On the face of it, the problem is annoying rather than dangerous, but unfortunately many of these spam messages carry viruses that can wreak havoc, not to mention the man hours lost over the course of the year by having to delete them.
The simple solution is to get an effective spam filter. Here at Message Stream we can offer a service that scans every e-mail and subjects it to almost 100 tests to remove spam and just allow genuine messages through. All this is done before the e-mail is received by your system thus protecting it from any potential harm. We then store the deleted junk mail so that it can be examined by you over the next fourteen days. The speed of the spam filter is incredible so you won't even notice it.
