Wow! Thanks for the explanations -- errr, sort of.
I wasn't aware lots of individual businesses run their own mail
server. I'd just imagined giant ISPs handling spam.
I appreciate knowing what a huge cost and burden spam is to small businesses.
Very sad to hear.
Another situation where smaller fry have to bear disproportionate
costs because they're marginal/insignificant costs to the big players
who run things and aren't enough trouble for Big Blue boys to address.
My sympathy!
