Spam

The correct beginning of the word spam, frequently used to recognize and degrade unwelcome e-mail. A lot of experts at present believe that spam e-mails are making a huge traffic .i.e. up to more than 70% of all e-mail traffic on the Internet.


“Spam is unsolicited e-mail on the Internet. From the sender’s point-of-view, it’s a form of bulk mail, often to a list obtained from a spambot or to a list obtained by companies that specialize in creating e-mail distribution lists. To the receiver, it usually seems like junk e-mail. It’s roughly equivalent to unsolicited telephone marketing calls except that the user pays for part of the message because everyone shares the cost of maintaining the Internet. Spammers typically send a piece of e-mail to a distribution list in the millions, expecting that only a tiny number of readers will respond to their offer. Spam has become a major problem for all Internet users.”

A spambot (spam robot) is a kind of software robot that lives on web. It takes out all possible e-mail addresses it come across and logs a file. Sometimes, the spambot’s e-mail address file is collected and adds to largest part e-mail delivery lists.
Nevertheless the big e-mails list that send spam, those receivers are always combined in their dislike for e-mails of that type. Other than some very small percentage of the population that such e-mail targets actually bites at whatever’s existing.
