Spam grounded as Hawker applies filtering system

"A year ago the company had a major problem: spam. Robert Burns, Hawker Pacific's manager of information systems, says spam accounted for 60 percent of network traffic. "Users were experiencing inappropriate spam," he says. "For IT, spam was flooding the network and slowing down our normal commercial traffic. It got to the point it was just painful. It was a deluge." In response, Burns began looking around for a solution and ultimately turned to GFi. In May last year he installed GFi MailEssentials for spam filtering, and GFi MailSecurity for filtering e-mail-borne viruses, worms, and Trojans." Source: Computerworld.com.au
