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

[Juha Saarinen]

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.
