ABSTRACT
The paper describes the spam problem within a small company and a practical approach applied to mitigate it. The proposed solution is based on a practical approach to spam mitigation, as a combination of free online RBL services and a small PHP system for local black list management. The results of the pilot test period are conclusive about the positive effect of the suggested approach. The paper also offers ideas for further improvement.
