If it seems like you're forever deleting spam from your email, that's because you are. A recent report by St. Bernard Software says that on average, employees spend ten minutes per day removing spam emails. If you're a company with 500 employees, that could translate into 80 man hours spent each week dealing with spam. Not only that, if the employee is lured by the subject line, there are the residual effects - time wasted checking out offers, time spent removing viruses caused by those emails, and the time it takes your servers to process those unwanted messages.

St. Bernard Software has a great white paper that describes the cost to companies, spam filtering options and ultimately solving the spam problem. To download the white paper, go to the St. Bernard website.
