The Biggest Challenges Facing Spam-Fighters
This article starts off by providing frightening SPAM statistics, such as; "roughly 75% of internet mail is SPAM." The author then talks about the economics of SPAM bots and his conversation with different anti-spam vendors. It covers many areas of the "spam underground" and includes ways that spammers get around e-mail filters "For example, says Sergeant, instead of sending a million messages from a single machine, spammers might instead send a thousand messages from a thousand machines." The article ends with the author complaining about false-positives, and the annoyance of having legitimate email classified as SPAM.
