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.

    It's real easy to tell to because you get
    b.ford@ford.com (undeliverable)
    bill.ford@ford.com (undeliverable)
    william.ford@ford.com (undeliverable)
    bford@ford.com (no auto reply so it hit something).

    He was real nice though, forwarded my questions to the head of marketing. I was inquiring as to why they don't make a Cobra 2 seater instead of the faster standard mustang body style.

    Ford kicks Chevy's ass. GM sucks.
