SPAM Has Stopped, Wish R8 would stop it too

Finally found the gold. SpamSentinel from http://www.maysoft.com/ Mayflower is the key.
Now before I or you go too far, remember I use Notes as a POP3 client without a Domino server, usually.
So all those who like the other ones, I tried 3-4 already, none would work. Not mentioning names since I am sure they work in other cases not as unique as mine.
You see the problem is Lotus never enabled mail rules on the client side to work without a server. And in R8, this continues. Bummer. So even though I blocked 100's of emails, it never will work without a server.

But now, I have to shell out $50 to Mayflower, but I don't mind, it's unbelievable!
Excellent support staff and very responsive and accepting of advice for enhancements even.

Why did it take me so long to find them, well until the last 6 months I never had more than a handful of spam in my inboxes(under 30 usually), now I get over 100 a day!

So kudos to Allison(she does the video on their website) and Chris(the tech guy who helped me sort out some questions I had). See you in Orlando next year!

CIO Magazine quotes me in article about SPAM

The senior online editor, Esther Schindler, from CIO magazines website had posted in the Lotus forums, and probably in many other sites as well looking for insights about SPAM and LOB(Lines of Business) and CXO's.
You can read the article here.
There were many thoughts pushed, but the one which I htink was missed, although an obvious one, is the following:
SPAM falls under SECURITY not messaging infrastructure or some other "admin" task area.
SPAM can and will be used against your organization at some point in time and who has the budget, if not the resources, to handle it? Not the IT staff. The security staff.
OK, so Postini is a great option, I met them at Lotusphere 2007 and previously. But maybe you are not big enough to pay for them. Maybe you should rethink it.
Look into the expenses you have now to fight spam, from hardware, software, time effort of the IT staff, telecoms/data traffic, and you start to see big numbers.
Read the article if you think SPAM is just a monty python skit!
