Hi Michelle,

   According to the office, our filters are set to optimum performance.
There will always be spam that comes through, unfortunately.  To increase
the potency of the filters would mean to catch and delete legitimate email
that looks like spam (and there is a lot of that).

   Most of the spam coming through right now is 'spoiler' spam, which
tries to ruin the self-learning filters which teach themselves words,
terms and phrases to catch spam on.  The 'spoiler' spam is filled with
junk words, terms and phrases to force the filters to become useless by
grabbing just about every word and adding it to the criteria list, thereby
negating any value of these filters.

   Unfortunately, there is no way to filter this type of spam.
