People like to say that, but, there's two sides to that. If you get 1,000 messages a day, and 3 are real sales leads, how much time is wasted on those other emails? That's not good either. Yes, some are easy to spot like a lottery subject, but, some look very real at first glance. In fact, some might say human sorting is the only perfect way, but my experience says otherwise. I see PLENTY of people duped by real looking spam (like phishing?). So, that's not perfect either. When someone has the opinion that they cannot lose even a single email (though, that's not true of course, we never rejected the mail, we just categorized it), then, I let them have their way - a 100% unsorted inbox. That's the only way to "guarantee" that. No problem, for me giving them all the SPAM they want. It's the users decision in the end. So, it's all in the eye of the user. I let them have what they want. For me, my inboxes are always checked by a spam filter, and I love it. Woudln't have it any other way. I hate my yahoo email address as that spam filter is useless. So, you may indeed hate not getting a message, I hate the SPAM more. ymmv ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
