Is spam filtering supported?
SPAM pesters people on two fronts: 1) Spammers send loads of spam to email addresses in your domain, which don’t actually map to anyone in particular. For example they may send emails to andrew@example.com even though you don’t have an Andrew in your office. Spammers in fact are actually sending emails to a whole list of names (e.g. Aaron, Abbi, Abby, Adam, Allan, Allen, Alec, Alex, Alexa, Alexander, Alexandra, Alexis, Alicia, Allison, Alyssa, Amanda etc.) in the hope of hitting some real addresses that do exist in your domain. This becomes a real problem because although these emails are delivered to anyone meaningful, they are using your bandwidth, and may be clogging an email account that you are collecting email from.
