Dear Colleague,

Take a few minutes this week to tune in to a SANS webcast for free
training about the newest spam filtering techniques and how spammers
are sneaking past them. Listen to the live presentation from the
comfort
of your home or office while you follow along on the slides. If you've
never tuned in to a SANS webcast before, see the end of this message
for simple instructions.
