Explanation:

In systems where no email filters are set up, it is possible for some users to receive over a
hundred unsolicited emails a day! If every user on a network received that much email, the human
time necessary to sort through those emails will be Herculean. The system resources required to:
process, download, and store such email can potentially reduce a networks availability to zero;
thus denying service.
