MPP and Beyond

According to Postini, 9 out of 10 mails are spam, http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/11/27/uk.spam.reut/index.html. This is totally believable given the fact that spam is a very inexpensive marketing tool, people seem to make trading decisions on spam email, people buy porn from spam, people give away thousands of dollars to scammers via spam, people buy drugs from spam and people generally react favorably to spam. Simply put, spam works.

Botnets operators are far more sophisticated than most of the detection tools that exist and hackers are far more sophisticated than end-users. Message Partners has great spam filtering solutions, but in the end, spam is a human problem and technology can not fix human problems.
