Okay,


Here are some good instructions. If you want to be informed daily and watch the different methods for pishing, spam and other fraud activities you can have a look at the spam examples and other fraud methods used here at www.fraudwatchinternational.com


For the best results using your spam filters I suggest to look at the fraudwatchinternational and setup some emails at your company. Try to create more subjects for fraud like "Your account will be disabled" or "We need your confirmation" or "Ebay User Verification" or "PayPal Account Verification" got the ideea untill now ? and create a HTML based message and send them to your email accounts. With what to do that, I mean with what programs, you can use some powerfull programs like those : write on google.com "Advanced Mass Sender 4.3" or "Easy Mass Mailer", send them to your email account in order to see how efective are your spam filters.


After you verify the delivery of those kind of messages in your company emails, you can setup much better the filters. It's really easy to protect your company emails if you can see the subject email of the spammers. And also you can permit only emails from important companyes like EBAY or PayPal from their correct addresses like [email protected] or [email protected] and the correctly message subject. It is not the best method in the world for fighting against spam but is definetely a very good one. For a small company is much easier to fight against spam then big email companyes like earthlink, yahoo, microsoft and so on... Also it could be a very good ideea to create a small banner or message when your clients access their own mailbox like "REMEMBER THAT NO BIG COMPANY WILL EVER ASK YOU DETAILS REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, CREDIT CARD AND USER - THEY ALREADY KNOW THEM".

I guess those are the main ideeas that every small and medium company should have them as a guide in the fight against spam and other fraud methods.
