Unfortunately, not everyone has a large penis...

Over the weekend, our IT department has implemented a new spam filter. I'm a big proponent of spam filters, but the filter itself is spamming me now! Am I supposed to feel better about the spam coming from a friendly face such as "Symantec Brightmail Anti-Spam" rather then Blackrice and ClintonFritz69? I'm getting more spam then ever, and the worst part is I actually have to read the emails to make sure I'm not missing anything important. Formerly I had given up on the spam filter and setup a complex system of rules deleting anything with the words "Viagra, Penis, Valium or Cheeaapp Softwarez." This worked pretty good for me. I probably won't be happy with any spam filters IT decides to implement. Though at home, SpamPal is the bomb. Here is an excerpt of the email I received this morning, courtesy of Brightmail:

    What's up with you guys getting spam at work? I don't use my work addr. for anything. My home address, on the other hand, gets 150 a day on a slow day.
