Palais des congres farms out its spam headaches

摘要

The palais des congres de montreal has decided to deal with its spam problem the way many people respond to e-mail jokes: By forwarding it. Under a recent agreement, the Palais has modified its mail exchange record — an entry in a domain name database that identifies the mail server that is responsible for handling e-mail — to point its mail traffic to a local firm called ZeroSpam. Once it has received the e-mail messages, ZeroSpam then uses a variety of filtering tools to eliminate unsolicited commercial messages before re-routing it back to Palais users.
