What is Spam?
Spam, or Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) is junk email sent typically to a
large number of recipients, usually to promote products or services.
Viruses propagating through email can also be considered as spam. Recent
high-profile attacks as Netsky illustrate the danger when infected – the virus or
work harvests the users’ address book and propagates it’s payload further down
the email chain.

infection.

filtering, however software based filters have the following drawbacks:
- Content anaysis is very resource intensive
- Network bandwidth and server capacity is wasted since infected mail is accepted onto your network before being processed
- Prone to false positives as on-site filters can be more aggressive
- Less likely to be effective against new waves of attack
