Using Country of Origin to Counter Spam eMail

Some CMS News Alerts:

NEW WHITEPAPER:

CMS has just published a whitepaper on how "Country Of Origin" email filtering can instantly reduce the amount of spam ever hitting a server...

It's surprising what a little email filtering by geographic area can do for the volumes of incoming spam. The facts and figures are all in the whitepaper.


XE-FILTER CUSTOMER REPORT:

A law firm recently installed XE-Filter and used it to monitor their email over a 24 hour period. It seems that in that time, they received 6000 pieces of email from China alone, a place where they do no business. Putting the 6000 peices of Chinese spam in perspective, this law firm received only 1500 email from the United States in the same time period.

XE-Filter's country of origin filtering is sure looking good to them.

And for those not yet trying CMS' XE-Filter, try it and you'll be surprised at the quantity of international junk email you receive.

OT But... How about them Tigers

When I started this blog the Detroit Tigers were among the off topic areas I would venture into: Opening Day and Tigers Reach 500 for example.

Well it's been a while but look who's the best team in baseball. Remembering 1968 and 1984, I can only hope 2006 falls into that realm of success.

So recalling the team song from 1968...

"We're all behind our baseball team... Go get 'em Tigers
World Series bound and picking up steam... Go get 'em Tigers.
They'll be joy in Tiger town, we'll sing new songs,
When the bengals bring the penant home, where it belongs"

Sounds sweet to an old ballpark usher like me. My section... Upper deck between third and home.
