A customer of ours recently made the step to hosting their own e-mail server but they very concious of the problems caused by spam. The war on SPAM, the scourge of modern day communications, recently had a small victory. An American web hosting firm, that was providing a gateway for many spammers, was shut down. The result of this was a two third reduction in the amount of spam travelling across the internet. However, after a few weeks, the levels of SPAM have almost returned to what it was. Spam wastes businesses time, uses up bandwidth and is a huge risk to online security. It's an arms race.
