As the district nears its final cutover to the Lightpath Network, we have been working behind the scenes to ensure our users have a seamless transition. One of the tools we are using is Postini, a best in breed SPAM filter. As you’ll notice by the graph below, well over a million SPAM messages were blocked in the period from April 3, 2010 through May 3, 2010. Although our filters catch most SPAM, occasionally a message will slip through and users should simply delete any such messages. By preventing these messages from reaching our networks, we make our e-mail system more robust and user friendly, save gigabytes in unnecessary storage, and minimize the spread of viruses that all to often accompany many types of SPAM.
