Abstract
Companies have been complaining about spam for years, and vendors have come up with different ways to fight the deluge of unsolicited e-mail.

Businesses are also increasingly using managed antispam services, in which a company's e-mail goes through a filtering server that is often in an antispam vendor's facility.
