The words that used to fill us with dread ‘e-mail upgrades!’. E-mail is the most important service that an ISP provides after connectivity so why does it get treated as a second class service? Well at Plusnet it doesn’t!

This blog is designed to give you an overview of Postini’s insights into the previous month’s spam.
I’m hoping to provide you all with a blog similar to this one each month, showing the previous month’s trend in spam messages.
