Network Security White Papers

Panthers Blitzes Spam, Boosts Productivity

Overview Panthers Entertainment, the outer-Sydney base of the Penrith Panthers, has blitzed the spam menacing its users' inboxes. Spam was problematic at Panthers in that users lacked education on how to deal with it sensibly. Some were replying to spam e-mails asking to be taken off a mailing list, which of course worsened the problem. Also, the company realised it had made the mistake of publishing e-mail addresses on its site which spammers harvested and had staff subscribing to online news groups which could exacerbate the incidence of spam. The company deployed MailEssentials for Exchange/SMTP 9.0 (by network and content security vendor GFI) and identified some 400 individual spam e-mails.
