Spam Still Very Dangerous

I found a recent warning by Sophos about recent spammings that, while they might seem not to be a threat, they can actually take control of a user's computer if the user clicks on the enclosed link and goes to the website.

This seems on par with the recent news that it was only high-level executives that were caught up in a recent Better Business Bureau spamming scam. This is the new type of spam attack where, instead of trying to spam everybody, they carefully chose their targets, thereby staying under the radar and avoiding press coverage.

So the fact is, spamming continues to get more sophisticated, and many of the old engines simply aren't sufficient to detect and remove these newer threats. And that is exactly why Message Partners developed MPP, which makes companies independent of spam scanners (which, once a company goes with one antispam engine, it is very difficult to remove, and often requires a complete restart).

MPP also enables companies to run more than one spam scanner, as well as utilize both commercial and open source scanning options, which often is necessary for large email systems. MPP even let's you set different thresholds for different departments, as Sales often needs a totally different setting than Legal. Check Message Partners out right here.
