Everyone that uses e-mail has received SPAM. Today most of us receive a lot of SPAM. The question is, do you really understand how much SPAM your organization is receiving?
Divergys uses a Barracuda SPAM/Firewall in-house and we have virtually eliminated SPAM on our network.
Recently we installed a new Barracuda for a client and in the past month since installing the Barracuda, that client has received 62,133 total e-mails. Of those 62,133 e-mails, their Barracuda blocked 59,878 e-mails that were SPAM. That means that this particular company received only 2,255 legitimate e-mails in the past month. That translates to being only 3.6% of the e-mail coming to their server being legitimate. Which in turn means that 96.4% of the e-mail coming into their system is Junk! Those are e-mails that are clogging the system, tying up bandwidth and slowing user productivity.
With the Barracuda in place, the user never has to deal with those bothersome e-mails. The Barracuda stops them before they ever get to the mail server or the users inbox.
As another illustration, this same client today in the first 4 hours of the day has had 972 e-mails that have been sent to them, 18 of those e-mails were actually good and were delivered to the users.
Bottom line, want to increase your users productivity and reduce the load on your mail server? Consider having a Barracude SPAM/Firewall installed.
Call Divergys today to find out how.
