New Proxy Site
- Articles should be crossposted to the newsgroups to which they are relevant and no more.
- Crossposting is not, in itself, considered net abuse unless done in excess or to many non-relavent newsgroups.
- Scraping is the act of collecting e-mail addresses for a spam list by scanning publicly-posted websites, mail list archives, or usenet newsgroups.
- With a spam blocker, messages deemed unsure are quarantined; these are generally bulk newsletters.
- If you take action – for example, by deleting the email – these actions will be remembered and stored in order to create new, adaptive filtering rules.
- When the user tries to leave, a new window pops up back at the web site.
- Spam which consists of a large number of messages sent to a large number of newsgroups is called Horizontal Spam.
- Horizontal spam typically represents someone trying to get a message across to the greatest number of people, regardless of whether or not the message is is relevant to those newsgroups or of interest to the people who receive it.
- This allows blocklists to be updated continuously as new sources of spam are discovered, permitting clients to have up-to-the-minute information.
- Vertical spam: Spam which consists of a large number of messages sent to a single newsgroup.
- Vertical spam may represent a clueless newbie who has screwed up a posting command, or a malicious spammer who is trying to drown out a newsgroup.
- See also spam and horizontal spamSpammers will multi-post (send a single message over and over again to multiple newsgroups) in order to force potential customers to see the same ad over and over again.
