How to control office spam?

As of late, spam has increased.  Advertisers and spammers have been more aggressive lately which means more junk coming to your company’s e-mail account.  How do you prevent spam if your company has its own email server?

Client software, such as Cloudmark, is good for personal e-mail accounts.  But, on the company end, the true way to combat spam is to install an anti-spam software on the server.  Then, the software will filter out the bad spammed e-mails before it reaches your email inbox.  This is the true way to avoid spam before it touches your computer.  The e-mail server essentially acts as the gatekeeper.  Keep in mind that the software isn’t as easy as installing it and you’re done.  You should have an e-mail administrator set this up correctly so it filters correctly according to your network. 

The top two company anti-spam software to check out are:  Symantec Premium Anti-Spam and GFI Essentials.
