Spam may seem like a minor nuisance to a normal consumer. You receive several pieces of email in your inbox everyday and from your point of view; it is very easy to get rid of. However, if you think of the nuisance from a larger point of view like an office network or an email server, spam can cause instability and downtime for the organization. Spam can clog your email server and your network infrastructure which cause your critical business processes to run slower and your backup times longer.

You have to stay one step ahead of the people sending spam. You have to be aware that the cost of sending out spam emails is relatively low compared to fending off spam. There are a lot of antispam programs available in the market. Major corporations have stringent combinations of antispam services and software to minimize the effect of spam on their network.

You can install antispam programs directly into your client computers. These types of programs allow spam to go through your server and they are filtered out once they get to the individual computers. There is great risk associated with this solution as you run the possibility of clogging your email server.

You can also install antispam programs directly into your email server. Mail is filtered out directly from the server and it does not reach the client computers. Companies that offer antispam services can also act as middlemen between your email server and the spammers hence lowering the risk of increased network traffic in your server.

So if you are devising a way to combat spam and minimize the effect on your company’s network infrastructure, you can implement a combination of antispam programs for your server and your client computers. You can even hire an antispam service to heighten the security around your network.
