$dayjob, as written previously, is a managed anti-spam, anti-virus service. One of our first customers was our ISP, so we’ve always been protected by our software - good way to tell if it’s working!
Things have changed, we’re moving away from that ISP, and they’re changing to an in-house solution tailored for their needs. Our MX records now point straight to the mail store server, so all the wonderful spammers in the world can now e-mail us, and our accounts have no protection.
I didn’t realise how much spam I get at my work account - I’ve never run a report on my own mail before, and I’m thinking I should, because it’s absolutely nuts how much I’m getting. I’ll be changing to a fetchmail + SA pickup for now, until we get our SDSL line and pull our mail in-house.
Yo Duncan,
We installed a Barracuda 300 Spamfirewall in house, and our spam has been cut up to almopst 75%!

The software we write has about a 95% hit rate for my account, if not higher. Barracuda are a competitor :)
