Re: [Dovecot] help a journalist: What do you wish the CIO understood about fighting spam?

Well, for starters, Dovecot is an IMAP server and doesn't really get involved in the spam side of things at all.

You'd be better off directing your question to mailing lists such as the Exim, Postfix, Sendmail or even Courier one, which deal with MTA issues. However, you may find that your query will be treated as off-topic and spam :)

To answer your question, I'd be surprised if any CIO worth his/her salt wasn't aware of how difficult the spam situation is at the moment. It affects anyone with email directly. My only comment here would be that there is no magic technical bullet to deal with spam, although large-sample filtering seems to work OK.
