Accounting for about 75% of all emails sent in a given day, spam messages are responsible for the loss of countless hours of productivity. In small quantities, spam is merely annoying, but when mailboxes are flooded with dozens or even hundreds of unsolicited messages, spam decreases productivity. More than that, spam is potentially dangerous – junk mail is notorious as the predominant channel for the propagation of viruses, spyware, phishing schemes, and fraud.
We can’t stop using email, so what can we do to stop spam email from polluting our inboxes? In large companies and organizations, this task is handled by system administrators. If you own your website and use webmail for personal or business purposes, you will have to find a solution yourself. One of the best options is to use SpamAssassin, a dedicated anti-spam system that filters your email messages and automatically tags junk messages as spam. Read on to learn how to enable SpamAssassin on your webmail and how to configure it to get rid of spam.
