MSNBC: Offices Remain Spam Free Zones

Posted by timothy on from the perhaps-in-some-other-bubble dept.

Makarand writes "Thanks to a good job done by the tech staff and filtering software, office workers in the US are not bothered by spam mail and the value of email communications has not eroded. A survey conducted by Pew Internet & American Life Project, whose findings are reported in this article by MSNBC.com, found that spam is certainly a problem for personal email accounts but not for company provided email accounts. This is contrary to the perception that American workers are wasting too much time battling spam." YMMV.

    I see the crap our managers have to filter out at work. Its not so much external spam as it is internal spam. Example, 10 people discussing what they'll have for lunch in 10 minutes, over 20 emails. CCed to everyone.
