Junk email (also known as Spam) costs everyone, wasting time and money. Spam is unsolicited e-mail, as opposed to something for which you signed up, such as a mailing list, registering on a web site, companies you've made purchases from, etc.

Fighting Spam is a never ending battle. Each year, over 18,000,000,000 (that's right - 18 TRILLION) Spam e-mails are sent. Some of the tricks that Spammers use include fake addresses, using web servers with open relays, and changing their outgoing e-mail addresses in order to fill our mailboxes with their e-mails.

TQCI currently uses a Spam filter with more than 80,000 blocked addresses and domains to help reduce junk e-mail.
