[Sparrow-Sean]

Hey Everyone,

Well on a daily basis all we tend to do is deal with help-desk SPAM and it's really becoming a nuisance, we do block them as they arrive and we do filter out unwanted SPAM but honestly it's becoming nothing but an annoyance

How many other people are seeing this same issue, and how do you go about preventing it from happening...?
