Spam Blocking

• As soon as you have an internet connection it becomes useful to have some form of spam blocking software to protect you from unwanted junk mail.
• Most integrated spam blockers automatically place spam or suspected spam into a separate folder for you to review or eliminate later.
• Newer spam blockers can learn to recognize what is spam and what isn't, and deletes the unwanted mail before it reaches your inbox.
• The way that spam finds its way to ones inbox is often misunderstood.
• Common header-forging (an smtp mail header that has been manipulated by a spammer in order to disguise the message's true origins) tricks include use of phony from- and return-path addresses, bogus helo mail host names, and fictitious routing lines to give a false history to the message.
• If a spammer can set up his own authoritative name servers for his website domains, he can use these to rapidly change the apparent address of his websites among large botnets of compromised home computers.
• Mailback scripts can be used by website proprietors to get feedback from visitors without exposing an e-mail address to spambots, but misconfigured mailback scripts can also be exploited by spammers to send spam untraceably.
• The most prevalent type of spam is advertising-related email; this type of spam accounts for approximately 36% of all spam messages.
• The second most common category of spam is adult-related in subject and makes up roughly 31.
• Unwanted emails related to financial matters is the third most popular form of spam, at 26.
• Blacklist: A list of e-mail addresses from which a user does not wish to receive mail; it may be used as part of a spam filter to hide or discard messages from addresses that appear on the list.
• Blacklists are a one form of spam filter; they usually do not block or reject e-mail so much as merely route it to some destination of the user's choice (like the junk mail folder).
• Used by contract spammers who get paid per person who clicks on the advertiser's web site.
• Some spam claims to be opt-in, but it never is.
