Filtering mail before it reaches your network enables you to drastically reduce the drain on your resources and increase the security of your network.

Let's get this out of the way first. I was a nutty Coldplay fan. That's a pretty well-documented fact. "Trouble", my first proper introduction to the band, came out at just the right time, I remembered watching the video for the first time on MTV and being completely blown away and moved by it. Life-changing, even. Coldplay paved the way for me to invest further in the alternative world. 'X&Y' was my solid album of the year it came out.

By Jerry Del Colliano For some reason the consumer press is obsessed with the thought that Wal-Mart, your friendly neighborhood local business killer, will become the fifth major record label of sorts. Of course, Wal-Mart doesn’t produce music or for that matter even manufacture it, but it has sure become active in selling something that the other four majors are having a hard time selling – CDs. The Eagles album Long Road Out of Eden sold over 300,000 CDs through Wal-Mart alone. Journey hadIf You’ve Tried to Contact Me Via E-mail
