Are The Spammers Winning? - Comments Page 2

It just amazes me that the major ISPs have not found a way to stop spam. If, as noted in the article, better than 90% of all email is spam, then by finding a way to prevent it they would be able to save 90% of their handling costs — servers, bandwidth, personnel and the rest.

A good place for spammers to get your email address is from emails your friends send out. They forward an email to everyone in their address book and every one gets a copy of all the addresses the email gets sent to. (Go look at the headers on one of your emails from a friend). I can't get it through to some of my friends to send my emails as a BCC (blind carbon copy) so my address doesn't get sent to everyone in the world so I have 2 emails. One I use for my friends so if they forget to BCC me I get all my spam at that address. The other one I use for other stuff. It's funny - I get almost NO spam at that address but 200 to 300 every day in my friend's email address. Some of my friends don't know how to clean up an email before the forward it ( for the 5th or sixth time). I could cull 50 to 100 address just from one of these emails if I were a spammer.

If you shut down the websites that use spammers, the spammers will have no business. With no business, they will not survive. That is what KnujOn is doing. Please check it out here: http://www.knujon.com/
We should all be forwarding our spam to KnujOn so we can eliminate spammers.
