Internet Service Providers in developing countries often have no idea how to stop spam effectively. They put up basic filter software, but fail to actively manage the system. |
It used to be that when you built a better mousetrap, the world beat a path to your door. With spam, I find that when I build a better mousetrap, the mouse just gets smarter. |
The basic filter will stop 70 or even 80 percent of spam, but that 20 percent that gets through is a significant and growing amount. Spam is like cockroaches: You stamp on one, another 10 appear out of a different crack in the wall. |
