An Analysis of Modern Spam Techniques - The Game Goes On
December 23, 2009 2:22 am Online PromotionWe all hate spam, but it's a fact of doing business online. Below you will find a great way to stop the spam, and keep an eye out for the types of companies that sell your email address to spammers. The key is to keep a separate email address for every source to which you subscribe. I know this sounds impossible, but I do it myself, and it's very simple.
The paper will provide an analysis of many modern anti-anti-spam techniques, accompanied by statistical reports and real-life examples. It will also outline some possible approaches to combat these often highly effective and thus increasingly 'popular' spam techniques. Although Internet spamming has been with us since as early as 1978 it first became more than a minor annoyance around September 1993, when America Online released AOL for Windows and the exponential expansion of the Internet began. At first, and for years subsequently, Usenet- and then email-based spam was very simple, consisting of unvarying ASCII messages sent from a limited number of IP addresses. Such simple 'plain text' spam required correspondingly unsophisticated approaches to blocking it. Content-based techniques such as keyword scanning and straightforward hashes (or 'signatures') over the message body were very effective, and at the connection level IP blocklist pioneers such as Spamhaus and MAPS helped turn spammers away before they could even ring the doorbell.
If you are signed up with one of the many free email providers, be sure to enable any provided spam filtering services. If you download your emails to an email client on your computer like Outlook or Outlook Express, consider installing spam filtering software that integrates with Outlook and other email clients.
Set up your email so that whenever someone emails anything @your-new-domain, you'll get that email. Let's say you purchased the domain duanesdomain.com and you have a great name like Duane. You would set up your email so that you would get emails to duane @duanesdomain.com, but you would also get emails such as ezinearticles @duanesdomain.com and borders @duanesdomain.com
Another good option for organizations that have a high volume of inbound emails is to enlist with an external to the organization spam filtering gateway service. This type of service receives all inbound emails and filters it before passing it on, majority spam free, to the final destination. An alternative to an external gateway spam filtering service would be to install spam filtering capabilities internally.
I use this trick now, and it's saved me from spam countless times. Now only will you be protected from companies that sell your email, but you'll be protected from companies that get hacked and lose your email address. You'll also know the company that sold your email, and you can factor that into your mind when considering to do business with that company again.
