摘要

There's no putting a pretty face on it: KeyCorp was drowning in spam. One of the world's largest bank-based financial services organizations, with more than 20,000 employees in 12 states, the company had two quad-processor Windows servers handling its email, with two more as backups. But even that wasn't enough to keep up with the volume of spam the company was receiving, says Mark Fitzgerald, senior technolo- gy specialist for Workplace Automation Technology, the KeyCorp IT unit charged with maintaining email systems and other collaborative applications.
