My personal time? Well at PPE it's been upped by zero because we don't
allow attachments so the only issues were spam and I've been fighting that
since it started.

At Netlink we get lots of customers compromised by adware and spam trojans
but I only deal with the new stuff when the techs are stumped so it's not
much of my time. I do spend a LOT of time fighting spam, a whole lot less
now that I got the barracuda box though. From 2000 till about a month ago
most of it was spent trying to block spam for our customers but this past
month I've actually had time to mess with the spammers again..
