First Post

Hi there visitors! This if you are all wondering what this page is all about, this is about spam messages. Here you can post messages that you receive that you think is a spam message.

Even at the current state of our technology spam messages cannot be completely stopped. Everyday tons of spam messages are sent and created by these spammers. Some of these messages are mostly like recognized by spam filtering servers maintained and own by Inernet Security companies. Almost 95% of these spam messages are blocked or caught by these spam filtering services. The remaining 5% can reach our inbox, and some of these messages are new type of spam messages, not yet added to the database of the spam filtering servers, and some of these are might be legitimate messages but us, we look at it as spam.

You'all might be saying that you still receive a lot of spam message in your inbox. Could you just imagine if the percentage of the spam messages that is cuaght by these spam filterting servers decreased? We may not just be seeing tens and hundreds of spam messages, it may explode to thousands of these messages.

You might also want to know why I am getting this spam messages. I can say that most of the time, if we signup to untrusted or malicious sites the e-mail address that we use to sign may be sold to spammers and will end up to an inbox bloated with spam messages.

We can go on and on with this topic. So I will stop for now with these thoughts. I will post more about these spam messages, how to combat them, what other issues we may encouter with these spam messages, etc.
