Re: Email processing question

[Tim McDonough <tim@mcdonough.net>]

Both actually although we have a small office and our email is 
processed by an external ISP just like personal mail would be handled 
at home.

The ISPs have to be swamped. Even with spam filtering I get a couple 
of dozen spam emails each day on an account where I've had the same 
email address for 10+ years.
