Since we host many of our clients’ Web sites, we are in an ongoing battle with spam and the spam-bots. (If anyone’s looking for a band name I think I just gave you one. Unfortunately, you’ll have a tough time with email marketing from a deliverability standpoint.)
I was preparing a message to our hosted clients in how we’re dealing with this increase in spam and what they can do to help when Robin sent me a link to MSNBC’s article w/accompanying video, "It’s Not Your Imaginiation — Spam Is On the Rise."
Nothing earth-shaking here, but just the fact it’s on the evening news shows what an invasive problem it is. No matter how smart we make spam filters, some hacker will create a spam-bot that will beat it, so we’ll need to create a smarter spam filter which will in turn spawn smarter spam-bots.
Can’t we all just get along?
