Cloudmark facing problems

A <A HREF="http://news.com.com/2100-1023-938103.html">new anti-spam service</A> launched last week by Cloudmark is facing some problems. CNet reports that the software is supposed to cut back on 75 percent of incoming spam by quickly identifying junk mail and filtering it based on input from people using the network. The bug page calls out two main problems. One involves Windows NT 4, which may leave out some basic SpamNet tools during installation. The second involves connecting to the service past a corporate firewall. Cloudmark suggests that consumers who have trouble connecting ask their company's system administrator to open the blocked port, or port 2703.
