• Open proxies (a third-party computer that has been configured to serve spammers by untraceably relaying their mail, hosting or guarding their websites, or performing other tasks, often known as "bots" or "zombies") are usually individual home or business pcs (typically running some version of microsoft windows) that have not been properly secured against malware attack, and that are connected to the internet full-time via some sort of broadband connection (so they're always available to the spammer).
• Typically, the owners of such computers do not know that their machines are open proxies, since the proxy code leaves little in the way of traceable data.
• Restriction of indiscriminate relaying, along with the rise of open proxies or zombies, has greatly reduced the proportion of spam sent by traditional open relays.
