One Third of Email Now Spam

Himanshu writes "The volume of spam received by business has doubled over the last two years and it's going to get worse. Analysts IDC reckons that spam represented 32 per cent of all email sent on an average day in North America in 2003, doubling from 2001. That figure is less than the 50 per cent or more junk mail statistic commonly cited by email-filtering firms like MessageLabs and Brightmail but it still represents a serious problem,"

Re:what about server solutions?

I just noticed you want a solution for "Windows 2000". My solution is that you dump that OS and install Linux and run a unix-based mail program. (see my other reply) There may be a sendmail for Windows - I don't know because I turned off my last Windows server about six months ago and life has been a lot simpler ever since.

Does it count as spam if you are automatically subscribed to Michael's Minutes over at Lidows/Lin---s/Lindash/Linspire/Linsipid by just signing up for the free trial, and then they refuse to take you off the list?
