Spam, viruses, worms,
and other email attacks have unfortunately become a part of daily
life. The statistics tell the story.
Ninety percent of all
worms and viruses transport themselves through email.
Viruses, worms, Trojan
horses and spam cost $100 billion in economic losses in 2007.
The number of spams
sent on an average day is approximately 200 billion. Compared to
the daily average in 2003 of 11 billion, the industry has seen an
approximately 1800% increase over the past six years.
Besides the economic
losses, spam emails consume your network's bandwidth. The constant
bombardment could result in a point of failure for your mail server.
