Anti-spam

This article is a summary of our full report, The Relative Effectiveness of Spam-Blocking Solutions, which provides the results of our survey of over 100 IT managers, email/security professionals, and end-users. The study found that perceptions of progress against spam differ between these groups. Furthermore, experiences differ according to the choice of four types of anti-spam products: third-party spam-blocking services, server-based anti-spam software, client-based spam-filters, and antispam appliances. The survey also explored the reasons that executive management approve spam-fighting technology.
