The need for an Enterprise Filtering Solution Spammers today are masters at adaptability, developing increasingly sophisticated methods to circumvent existing filtering techniques and anti-spam applications. As a result, MIS departments must invest in a dynamic solution to fight spam while taking into account the needs of the organization, individual email recipients, and limitations of resources in their own department. The following factors must be considered when evaluating the best method to combat the problem:

• Level of maintenance required by the MIS department
• Recipient intervention in deciding what constitutes spam to them
• Spam detection rate and level of false positives
• Ability to control the flow of solicited email that recipients read while at work
