The biggest problems with getting your Email to someone is getting through the receiving ends mail servers defences.
Sadly, long gone are the days of the early 90's where spam was really only something that was heard of in a supermarket, although it had been around for years, even on ARPANET and it was not of plague proportions like it reached in the mid-late 90's through to the problem it is today.
So, in light of Murdoch's staffs criminal actions, the worlds media have been filling our airwaves with the term Phone Hacking, why, I'll never know, as it is really incorrect, no phones were actually hacked at all, no conversations were monitored in real time, no phones contacts list or stored emails or photos were ever compromised in this latest scandal.

Many modern Data Centre builders have got it right in what makes far more sense using the all Cold aisle method, which involves an overhead plenum for the hot air to be expelled into, this means only cold air in your DC, and no mixing of cold and hot air, since the idea is to keep everything cool so your valuable hardware stays at a safe operating temperate.
