Slippery Rock University has implemented a anti-spam solution to assist in the management of unwanted email, also known as spam. Based on most recent reports, spam accounts for between fifty and sixty percent of all email that the SRU receives. It has become not only a burden to users who have to manage increased volumes of unwanted email , but it is also a burden to Information Technology (IT) administrators who have to manage the storage and delivery of this unwanted email.

The implemented anti-spam solution provides a complete email security (anti-spam, anti-virus, etc.) on all email passing through the Internet Mail Gateway.
