I’m a regular ebay seller as well as buyer, the only problem I have is the way the things are done. Normally when buying goods you would pay through Paypal, pay the ebay postage after that recieve the goods through post. This was how all of my purchases and sales have taken place. Until I was on the lookout for a sofa for my new flat.To find a perfect sofa for yourself is tough on ebay as you don’t get to sit on it and test the relaxation level, however luckily I found the same sofa which I saw in a household furniture shop but wasn’t able to afford it there. The couch on ebay was extremely cheap. It was less than half the price as it was displayed in that shop, so I went ahead to purchase it. The only difference was that this was an ebay collection purchase so I need to go on my vehicle and pick it for myself, rather than they delivering it to me. There was another choice avaliable of a private courier, however it was a waste as it’s price was same as that of the sofa.The address of the vendor was specified so I agreed to pick up the sofa, it was also stated that it would be good to carry a proper receipt of the purchase, I agreed to pay through paypal as the seller said. I duly paid and we agreed upon a collection day and time.I was extremely joyful because the day of the couch pick up had arrived, I drove 100 miles to Wrexham and arrived to the address that had been given. I was a bit perplexed as the seller told it was his residence address but the place I was standing was looking similar to a warehouse. I pressed the buzzer but no one came out of the warehouse, so I waitied and kept myself patient.No one turned up so I called my companion and asked him to get me the telephone number of the seller, remarkebly the vendor had deleted his contact details from his account and the account was suspended. Now it was obvious I became a victim of web scam, no sofa as well as a loss of £450.The good news was that I had paid through Paypal and so I had a little bit of protection.I loged a dispute complain in paypal and was able to get back my money, however it is extremely simple for that person to make a new account with some other identify and card number and do the same thing with someone else. Further I was advised the perfect thing to do it pay on delivery and write a receipt for the vendor to sign.

Microsoft Exchange Server – Filtering Spam Efficiently

By: John J. Oimann

Rising threat from spam mails raises the need to monitor and remove illegitimate messages, thus ensuring correct functioning of the MS Exchange system.

Mail spam adds trouble and decreases productivity and is a major threat to todays business world . Companies receive thousands of deceptive, indecent and irking e-mails in bulk on a regular basis. Spam is a jargon used commonly to express discarded, undesirable and promotional e-mails or junk e-mails. Spam is not an abbreviation or acronym (so spam does not denote something). Normally a spam mail contains commercial content and it is send to receivers who never reqeusted to get that kind of information from the business or individual that sends it.

Receiving a vast amount of unwanted commercial mails can easily end up costing individuals and companyies a lot of time and resouces because they have to sort unwanted and legitimate e-mails and remove the unwanted e-mails in the process. It generates frustrations among employees hindering efficiency.

Deleting spam is a time consuming process, email server up-time and performance suffers, and your network faces a security risk from malevolent messages. Furthermore, the company also faces the risk as these spam mails might lead to irreparable harm to the systems, thus causing disorder and big loss of work and capital to the company.

The only guard against the threat from spam is professional asistance ensuring complete security and protection. Thus, the server should be shielded to assure that all the passing information is filtered and fire-walled against spam. Typically, a server spam filter is a software application that scrutinizes the incoming messages, spotting spam on the basis of pre-determined configurations while detaching the unwanted e-mail so that it never reaches the users inbox. One of the often used mail servers is the Exchange Server developed by Microsoft, and this product from Microsoft makes core mail services fast and reliable.

Spam devices can be of great help to carry out filtering at an exchange server or malware e-mail blocking at exchange server. A server spam filter facilitates the users to automate the spam removal procedure at the server level – the receiving source before it reaches the network of personal computers. An automatic procedure that filters out spam is recommended because it protects your internal network and each single connected personal computer. In addition is prevents loss of information and user downtime.

No technology used to filter spam is perfect. Periodically a network administrator still needs to monitor all filtered mails to prevent that Microsoft Exchange does not block legitimate mails.
