We have the same issues here with the spam filter they installed when they upgraded the systems. I clearly explained to the CIO at a meeting before this system was installed that the proposed filters would not work as he claimed, pointing out by example perfectly legitimate e-mails that would likely get blocked.
CIO tells me in no uncertain terms that he's going ahead with the implementation, the expected happens and we lost 25% of our legitimate e-mail to the spam guard dog, there's no way to resolve it with the system as implemented and the CIO's response the irate phone calls of users? FOAD as the "Security of the network is more important" :rolleyes:
And the truly ironic part of this schmozzle? This vaunted email filter is an abject failure at catching spam that uses graphics as part of the message text, so I'm getting bombarded by stock tip spam daily. Which I dutifully forward to the Spam Complaints box provided, which in turn seems to go to the electronic bit bucket in the sky :angry: Hell my ISP does a better job filitering this crapola out :blink:
