Gates Wants to Can Spam -- Fast | |
|

| Time: 04:43 EST/09:43 GMT | News Source: Internet News | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

In 2004, Bill Gates stood before a room full politicians, economists and business leaders and declared a war on spam. "It will soon be a thing of the past," Microsoft's chief software architect told those gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, before laying out a three-pronged approach to eradicating the scourge of unsolicited e-mail. He promised to have the job done within two years. Now, one year later, even some critics say he's making progress. Microsoft has been working on a number of anti-spam projects, including SmartScreen technology in Microsoft mail servers and the Sender ID program. In addition, the company has set up more than 100,000 MSN Hotmail "trap" accounts. These are accounts that the company monitors to draw in spam and follow the possible links to phishing scams. | ||

This is one area where all of us need to set aside any/all arguments and simply cooperate.
Since Jan 01 of this year, we have filtered more than 700,000 SPAM messages, of which 62% contained some form of mal-ware. Since we provide managed mail services to a very small number of people/businesses, that number is outrageous - requiring several layers of filtration and many techniques. Al la "MTV" all I can say is, "I want my SPF!" We and our customers are sick of this nonsense. I hope any and all SPAMMERS get life behind bars where they can be put to work going through SPAM for false positives. If they error, or intentionally error, then they an be made to break rocks, or some other fun task. This post was edited by lketchum on Saturday, April 09, 2005 at 14:40. |

I wish to thank those that work on the filters that block the chronic spam. Finally, over the past year I can say that SPAM has become a pretty rare occurance for me.
The only unsolicited junk mail that I now receive is sent by Microsoft itself! |
