I do not use spam filters because I have always regarded a single missed important message due to a "false positive" from a spam filter to be a more serious problem than any number of spam messages received. And if an email provider I use has spam filters that I cannot effectively opt out of, I still don't pay the electric bill for their processing power. > Think about > the load servers have.

I would wager that needless use of HTML in emails probably contributes far more to un-necessary server load and storage requirements than is contributed by than spam. > What does obvious have to do with wasting resources? If the spam messages were not obvious, far more man-hours would be wasted in spotting and deleting them. And people's time is the most precious resource of all. > Ok, you clearly haven't looked at it *at all*. There is > no corporate server involved. It's peer-to-peer.

I don't see corporate iT and data security policies giving up corporate email servers to allow peer-to-peer communication between staff's workstations and the outside world anytime soon. I would expect them to still want to know what staff were sending out, and maybe encrypt it at the network boundary. - -- Best regards MFPA mailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net Alcohol and Calculus don't mix.
