According to the "August 2009 Threat Forecast & Report" regarding email SPAM, which is provided by MX Logic; a web and e-mail security provider reports that SPAM volume has increased by 27 percent month to month since June and a staggering 400 percent since February 2009. Currently, SPAM has reached whopping 94.6 percent of total email generated. What does that mean? Well, your email servers may end up working overtime to keep up... All the better reason to have a third party Anti-SPAM email host such as Postini, which is provided by Mosaic Technology; a technology partner of Trigon Technology Group. Postini services take the burden off of the email server within your domain and prevent SPAM email from ever getting near it. It has an easy to use web interface giving the individual user the option to manage their SPAM and quarantine messages picked up by Postini and gives the user the ability to adjust their individual threshold for SPAM filtering as well as managing their own approved and blocked senders list. So, if you want to know more about Postini and how Mosaic Technology can help, visit:

DISCLAIMER: This Post Does Not in Any Way Mention Apple.
Recently I created a Gmail account to act as a secondary email for myself. For the sake of conversation, let's call it iheartstevejobs@gmail.com. I was going to use it just in case I needed my password reset for various websites and also as a poor mans auto-archive of my main email. Boy what a mistake that could be.
Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo shut off inactive email accounts after 6-9 months of in-activity, meaning that my secondary email could be deactivated if I don't log in often. So one day a greasy haired nerdlinger who dreamed of getting iheartstevejobs@gmail.com would be inundated with glee to find it was finally available. Imagine his surprise when he started getting banking and password information into his inbox. What he would want to do with my Twitter account is beyond me, but rest assured I want to be the only one alerting the world that I just had breakfast!
So the morale of this story is that you shouldn't forget to log into your email early and often and also to eat your vitamins. For the record, C is my favorite.
