Spam: Death By A Million Paper Cuts  The organization I work for receives 19-20 UCEs (Unsolicited Commercial Email) per second, 1.7-2 million potential UCEs per day, 11.7 million UCEs per week. I only have 13,000 email users. These users were desperate and email for many was unusable. Me and another co-worker had 3 months to implement a plan to get rid of most of it. I had to document every step we took and I had one shot to accomplish this. At the end of that time it had to work and it had to be noticeable.    I am not an expert on spam. However, I have learned many things about UCEs and what can be done to fight it and how to adjust to UCEs' dynamic nature.
