As email has evolved, so has the risk it presents to users. Almost all viruses are now spread via email and these spread at such a rate that conventional anti-virus software for local servers / computers is no longer an adequate defence. Junk (spam) email has also reached such a level that it affects users' productivity, internet bandwidth and content is often offensive or damaging to recipients. Email Systems provide a service that operates outside the corporate network, which means that implementation does not require the installation of any software or investment in any hardware to benefit from the service. The net effect is that SPAM or viruses cannot enter the corporate network so preventing unnecessary bandwidth usage and the risk of virus infection due to out of date virus definitions on the recipient’s client. Email risk is not only incoming email but also outgoing. Tracking email usage and having the means to enforce an acceptable email usage policy is an essential tool for businesses, service providers and home users alike.
SPAM Now Accounts For More Than Nine Out Of Ten Of All E-mails Sent - The Times, 2nd March 2005
SPAM now accounts for more than nine out of ten of all e-mails sent, according to specialist consultant Email Systems, which says the figure crossed the 90 per cent level for the first time last month. Porn seems on the decrease; complicated financial scams are on the way up. At one point, on February 6, spam accounted for an incredible 97.6 per cent of all traffic. Count in the viruses sent that day as well and fewer than one in 55 e-mails was genuine.
