Spam, Lovely Spam, Wonderful Spam

Do you remember the quote from the Monty Python sketch in 1970. Spam is nowadays mostly known to be \"sending nearly identical messages to a few or thousands (or millions) of recipients by e-mail\" (Wikipedia).

Spam is best defined as unsolicited and unwanted commercial electronic messages or e-mails that are sent to large numbers of people. The term is also used to similar abuses in other media, like messengers and newsgroups.

To maintain solid relationships with your clients and peers, writing an accurate and descriptive subject line for each email you send is critical to making your readers\' lives easier and their work more efficient. Such a marketing approach provides your product information to a large audience without the aggravation causing mass email approach that many companies try and fail with. Make sure it is not unsolicited and unwanted emails that arrive in your customer\'s email in-box.

Spammers know that everybody hates them and that people try to delete their messages immediately, so they have learned how to make their letters and headlines catchy. Some people have to take shortcuts to make a profit. One would expect an internet company to delete the profiles of the people that use their service in an abusive way. Some operator\'s try to stop spam and Yahoo for example has a button you can use to report it. MSN has a type of free email account which filters out all the junk Spam.

Nevertheless we all need spam filters as they are an extremely successful way of managing or stopping unwanted emails, but occasionally they can work too well. However, the use of software filters in e-mail programs can be used to remove most spam sent through e-mail. A search on the internet will provide a great number of software producers in this field.

The recent buyout of Giant Software may see spam filtering as a default feature in the next version of Microsoft Windows perhaps. Anti spam software typically uses content filtering or Bayesian logic, an advanced content filtering method, to score each email, looking for certain tell-tale signs of spammer habits such as frequently used terms like \"Viagra\" or \"click here\".

In the USA the Department of Justice\'s Federal Trade Commission\'s Consumer Protection Division has recently put forth a bogus report to Congress on their role in the CAN SPAM Act and stated in writing that spam has been reduced. Businesses worldwide report that 20% of all e-mail received is spam. So there is still a long way to go to a spam free world.
