Anti-Spam |
| |
|
Overview
|
| |
|
Oklahoma State University receives approximately 8 million email messages per week. Of these, an estimated 35% to 70% are unsolicited or unwanted bulk email, otherwise known as spam. Industry experts believe that without controls over unsolicited email, spam will increase 63% by 2007. Minimizing spam received will free critical IT resources as well as relieve faculty, staff, and students from the burden of managing unwanted email.

|
The objectives of the Anti-Spam project are to define the business requirements for an anti-spam solution, generate an RFP, and implement an enterprise solution for the management of spam email as soon as feasible.
