Are you James Bond movies fan? If you do not need to add a few more words. "From Russia with Love" is one of the popular Bond films starring Sean Connery. Its been sent on a secret mission to Turkey in this episode.
But this article is not about James Bond and spy movies. It is a spam.
Russian Spam has become one of the most dangerous ones flooding your e-mail box. From simple advertising to different definitions of harmful viruses each tank and takes a lot of time and ISP resources.
"Our business is e-mail address is being flooded by Russian spam, despite being filtered through SpamCop.net first. I can not log in using WebMail spam like messages forwarded to our mail server, so the offending messages do not not remain on the server. I have now started reporting spam through its "forward commitment" SpamCop account, but it still keeps coming, "as Martin in the popular web forum.
the question to follow is: "Why does this Russian spam keep coming?". One possible answer is that the DNS list and adjust your SpamAssassin (if you have installed) the threshold down. You can change these settings in the Options -> SpamCop Tools -> Select your e-mail filter list
.can read and understand Russian either I have nothing to do with this country. But Martin is not. So he asks a good question: "I can only say I want no Russian mail: can not read it anyway ".
The answer is: "You can say it, but now there is no way to implement it within SpamCop ."
Another forum user writes "I also get lots of spam and Russia have all the BL is selected. The problem is that it comes in too many different IP's. I can only add here that even if you blacklist all Russian IP and will continue to receive Russian SPAM. The simple reason is that most spam comes from U.S. IP addresses. American ISPs have very strict TOS on spammers, but hey, can not block all the IP.
four years ago in 2002, scientists from the Centre for Democracy and Technology found that e-mail addresses posted on websites or in newsgroups attract the most spam. They estimate that up to 40% of global e-mail traffic caused by spam messages brings headaches for companies that lose billions in productivity.
eWeek says that 86% of spam sent to businesses in the period between May and July 2004 came from U.S. spammers, according to a survey by CipherTrust Inc. It selected about 5 million pieces of spam sent to 1000 e-mail boxes. Only 3% of spam came from China and Hong Kong!
According to InternetWeek.com, "Most spam is sent across the Internet originated on zombie machines, hijacked computers remotely controlled by spammers." Zombies, people! Walking undead! It sounds like a horror movie, right?
But, back to the Russians. Here's another post on Russian Spam
"What's the story with all the late Russian spam? What is it that the Russians are trying to sell me? the Russians worry about a small penis? they play Texas Hold-em online? Do they buy fake Rolexes? they like" dirty barnyard girls in all animal sex video "?
I hope not. I've been using Gmail for almost a year and I love it. It is a spam filter is fantastic. One would think you'd understand by now that any e-mail I received in the Russian belongs to the spam bin instead of my inbox ."
Someone who is pissed off at "the Russians with fake Rolexes, " published some advice for the fight against the Russian spam. Here they are:
For a quicker way of reporting a lot of foreign language spam (or any spam for that matter) that was forwarded to your local inbox, try the following:
- Set the IMAP as a separate link to your mail held
.- clear out (delete) all mail in the held mail folder (you can skip this step if you want)
- Move all the foreign language spam from your local inbox for IMAP SpamCop Held Mail folder (click and drag). It is necessary to your local computer, and she moved back in SpamCop server. There is no need to forward as attachment.
- Then sign up for any VER interface Held Mail or log on to website address and select the Held Mail folder
- Select all or only certain messages you want to report
.- VER gives you the possibility of rapid reporting and full reporting
- WebMail only allows for quick reporting
.I hope this story will help in the fight against the Russian SPAM. If you do not have at least 2 more choices -. begin to learn the Russian language, or close your e-mail
