Re: Spam prevention vs mitigation

I would use any review article written in the last decade to justify that spam reduction can be achieved to a 99% rate 
with computer programs. For example, see:

Thiago S. Guzella, Walmir M. Caminhas, A review of machine learning approaches to Spam filtering, Expert Systems with 
Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, September 2009, Pages 10206-10222, ISSN 0957-4174, 10.1016/j.eswa.2009.02.037.
(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095741740900181X)

Receiving 5 or 6 e-mails per user per day is not much, but it should be compared with the actual amount of spam you are 
receiving at the server in order to evaluate the performance of your spam filtering policy.

A 100% performance could be achieved, as several people said above, unplugging the cord, or turning the mail server 
off. Another option that has not been considered would be hiring a person, or team, depending on the volume of e-mail 
you receive, to read every single e-mail received and manually classify it. I wonder if your bosses would want to deal 
with the extra monetary costs and the privacy violation issues that this solution would bring along.

Best regards,
