| Article Title :: The Anti Spam Challenge - Minimizing False Positives |
| |
| Email is the quintessential business communication tool, so when it doesn’t work like it’s supposed to, business suffers.

As a result of its very low marginal costs, spam has become extremely prolific. Regardless of how many emails are sent out, the spammers' costs are low, and constant. With numbers like these, there is a tremendous burden shifted to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to process and store that amount of data.

Add-on filters are also available that function as email proxies.
