Two things of interest in spam this week:
1. IT Security has a decent article on how to eliminate spam from your mailbox. It’s 10 fairly detailed steps, from how to test who’s spamming you to getting revenge on the spammer. You may already be familiar with most of them, there may still be a gem in there.
2. “Spam shows a sudden slide” is an article on itworld.com that tries to explain the noticeable decrease in spam the last few weeks. Some say it’s the spammers taking a holiday, some attribute it to the recent earthquake near Taiwan that pretty much severed their connection to the net. The article says spam is down about 5%, I have seen about a 50% drop in spam to my inbox. Let’s hope this trend continues!
