Will SPF/Microsoft Hybrid Stop SMTP Burn?
As an IT manager, you're more likely than an end user to recognize spam as a problem in the workplace, and to predict that spam will be a message-related problem you'll still be dealing with in 2007, according to InsightExpress, a Stamford, CT research firm.
