Spam E-Mail Set To Rocket
The SpamHaus project, a global anti-spam group, says spam e-mails could pile up in the next few months as junk mailers have adopted a new spamming technique. They have found a way to send massive amounts of spam via ISPs directly, instead of going through individual machines. Normally, once a spam IP address has been found, that computer or hosting company is blacklisted and mail is restricted in order to stop the flood of junk e-mail. But by targeting the big ISPs they have created a problem as it's impossible to block the ISPs mail without affecting millions of their customers legitimate e-mail too. "From what we've seen, the volumes of this type of spam are going up dramatically. We're really looking at a bleak thing if Internet service providers do not quickly employ countermeasures," says Steve Linford from the Spamhaus Project.
