[Modus] Where is my Spam? - PUN

[Customer Support]

Just an FYI,   Because the new version is catching more stuff, the Quarantine is liable to fill up faster and put more load on Access/MS-SQL.  So if you're running MS-SQL, you should keep an eye on it.  If you're running MS-Access (the native MDB database), you may want to consider going to MS-SQL...   -- Yves Lacombe Vircom Technical Support and Anti-Spam team "We Fix!" ----- Original Message ----- From: Gene DuCharme To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 5:48 PM Subject: [Modus] Where is my Spam? - PUN To Funny.  Seriously I am kind of lost.  It is a weird feeling.  I keep hitting send/receive to see if even one has gotten thru.   -------------------------------------------------- Gene DuCharme               SysAdmin Inland Northwest Internet   509-935-8923 401 S.

Since installing the beta, my personal email box receives 3 to 5 spam messages daily.     Ok, so this indicates that some of the spammers are still out there sending their trash, but obviously the majority of spammers have simply given up and quit sending this trash.   Since our participation in the beta was driven by the desire to control spam messages, and   Since 80 to 90 % of the spammers have stopped spamming � we are wondering if there is any need to continue with the beta?   Obviously, I�m joking � but the numbers above are real.  We have also seen our quarantine double in the number of messages stored which indicates to me that the beta is catching twice as much spam as the release version.    The new engine is doing a very good job.   =============== Bill Rakowitz YK Communications   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gene DuCharme Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 4:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Where is my Spam?   * This is the modus mailing list *   I got absolutely nothing to do now in regards to e-mail.   That means I may become obsolete?   --------------------------------------------------- Gene DuCharme             SysAdmin Inland Northwest Internet (inwi.net)   509-935-8923                  USA Online Central        (usaoc.com)  877-GO-USAOC 401 S.
