Hi, folks. I'm senior online editor at CIO.com, and I'm working on an article for which I'd very much like your help. There's often a lack of communication between techies and top company management. Maybe they don't want to hear about problems; perhaps you give them technical details that are far more granular than they want to know. But dealing with spam is a topic

Getting Clueful: Five Things You Should Know About Fighting Spam The battle for your users? e-mail inboxes probably will never end, but it?s not a failure of technology. Experienced e-mail and system administrators share the key points they really, really wish you understood. http://www.cio.com/technology/infrastructure/security/spam/ five_things_about_fighting_spam.html?CID=28830 Thanks
