[OPLINTECH] E-mail Programs

[James Guilford]

For most of our staff we offer Web access to their email accounts (we 
have our own server). It's the most easily portable way for them to 
access their library email in our "musical chairs" work world and from 
home (or when on the road). Others use an email client, Mozilla 
Thunderbird being our preference. Spam is a ubiquitous problem and there 
is no perfect solution of which I am aware: many spammers have figured 
most of the angles. And while email servers are pretty good at filtering 
it out, and Thunderbird has a decent filter built in, some spam still 
gets through and likely always will {sigh}.  If only we could charge 
spammers for every use of our email systems!
