Haiku vs Spam

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday August 20, 2002 @02:41AM from the it-must-be-august dept.

Mark Cantrell was among several people who sent in a story about a company using "Haiku to Stop Spam. Essentially you use a copyrighted Haiku to tag that a message meets criteria (1 Recipient, Pre-Existing Relationship, etc) which then makes it a simple matter to filter the mail. I'm sure the spammers in China will laugh wildly as they forge the haiku. I challange comment posters to post only Haiku in this discussion ;)
