Greetings-
I hope that somebody can help me. I've performed many searches, but don't know specifically what I'm searching for! Here's my dilema ...
My company receives spam addressed to its internal distribution mailbox. So, for example, I'll receive a spam "Hot Housewives" addressed to "COMPANY ABC" or "HR GROUP" or "IT GROUP" or "VP Group" .... not to an individual email address such as "joesmith@companyabc". Individually, each employee has set up spam filters to avoid emails to "joesmith@companyabc" but the emails that are address to the internal group boxes come flying through.
How does this happen and how can it be stopped. We are a 100 person firm and lack knowledgeable IT people to fix this problem. It just seems silly to me ... how can spamers address mail to a group box that in theory would only be accessible internally??
Maybe this is the dumest question ever! So, I apologize in advance if this is the case, but PLEASE HELP ... or may give me a hint of how to properly search for a fix to this issue.
Many thanks!
