Wednesday, January 14, 2004Cough-cough choke choke wanna buy some viagra mate.SPAM figures pass 60%. Users are being deluged with unwanted mail despite the new laws. The problem is so acute that it is having an effect on the net's capacity. According to all the top industry pundits email will become unusable within the next 12 months unless you have some advanced filtering mechanisms in place. Mooseheadlads' Mark Sunner suggests that Instant Messaging will be the next platform for spammers to attack. Here at ecommnet we think there's still a long way to go before the battle moves on. As more sophistcated anti-SPAM measures such as BorderWare's MXtreme email firewall become more widspread, the spammers will develop more complex ways to overcome them and potentially start attacking the mail servers more directly. Those of you with Exchange, Outlook Web Access or Notes exposed through the standard ports better watch out. Related Links Worsening spam epidemic chokes the net posted by Robert Campbell 3:21 PM
