SPAM-Get the message!

message labs logoMessageLabs flagged as SPAM by AOL. In a rather unfortunate, [if somewhat hilarious ®©] incident earlier this week the mail systems at MooseheadLads were seen by the filtering systems at AOL as open relays and their subscribers struck dumb. Matt Sergeant, senior anti-spam technologist was reported by Will Sturgeon of ZDNews to have described it a '..a freak occurrence which involved a coming together of a number of unfortunate circumstances.' Industry speak for we sc***ed up good and proper. This just goes to confirm our suspicions here at ecommnet that relying on one provider for all your email defence is no defence at all. ®© Related Links MessageLabs tagged as a 'spammer' Business email may escape spam crackdown BorderWare MXtreme SPAM to be Canned
