Spam Slows AT&T Email
jonerik writes: "MSNBC has this article about AT&T's frustration with the increasing quantity and sophistication of spam traffic. As has been noted here already, much of it these days is originating from Asia and, according to the article, 'now represents 20 percent of all e-mail floating around the Internet.'"
Bob Sullivan is sooooo cute. You think he would let me fuck him in the ass?
I don't think this would be a problem if people weren't idiots with their email addresses. If you don't want spam, stop signing up for all the "punch the monkey" banner ads you see! I use ATTBI, and I have never received a SINGLE piece of spam with my ATTBI email account. I suspect ATTBI uses the same filtering service as Worldnet, and I'd have to say it works quite well. The spam problem maybe is due to idiot users, but it's also possible that ATT made the foolish decision to sell the customer email database to spammers and now are forced to deal with the consequences.
I have an excite email address that nicely filters out all the spam the address collects. Excite email did have some problems earlier this year (i.e. change of ownership, hardware failure, etc.) but now it seems to be working great. So maybe ATT should switch over to whatever they're doing?
The future isn't what it used to be.
at least 50% of the spam we get comes from ATT, verizon, & 'other' phone service peddlers. not to mention billy's gargantuan bcental BULL-IT-on, yahoo's shop-with-britney.con, etc....
so, what they are REALLY whining about, is the little spammers, interfering with their BiG guise 'legitimate' meat product.
