| Article Title :: How to Get Rid of the 4-letter S-Word |
| |
|
Now don't get all upset, as we are going to talk about the other
S-word and that would be S*P*A*M. The * is in between the
letters because just the use of this S-word can cause your email
to not be delivered. The S-word is considered to have happened
when you send an unsolicited email to someone. Unsolicited means
they did not specifically request your information and this is
where things get a little dicey. People subscribe to free offers
online, but they forget to read the small print and that small
print will tell them they are agreeing to receive offers from
third parties. Their email is then sold to dozens of people who
in turn might sell it to dozens of other people. The result is

| |
|
It is reported that 60%+ of internet traffic on mail servers are
spam messages. If you run a website, you can be sure that you
are (or will be over time) receiving a tremendous amount of
unsolicited email messages. If you haven’t started a website
yet, remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure. There are safeguards you can use to minimize the number of
unwanted messages you receive.
WHOIS data: When you register a domain name, you are required to
provide contact information for the WHOIS database, which can
later be harvested by spammers for e-mail addresses. To protect
yourself from such unscrupulous people, I suggest using a dummy

SPAM, AND NOTHING BUT SPAM. by Gillian Tarawhiti, Community
Training Centre, http://www.millionairerippleeffect.com For the
new and possibly the old netpreneurs SPAM is the common term for
electronic 'junk mail' - unwanted messages sent to a persons'
email account or mobile phone. The SPAM act (CAN-SPAM ACT,
EUROPEAN SPAM ACT, AUSTRALIAN SPAM ACT) identifies SPAM as
unsolicited commercial electronic message(s). The act covers
email, instant messaging, SMS (mobile phone text messaging) and
MMS (mobile phone graphic messaging). Under the SPAM act all
commercial electronic messages must meet the following

conditions is defined as SPA (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Spam Control - The Internet Without It? |
| |
|
Every single day 30,000,000 emails are sent around the world.
50% of those emails are spam. Blue chip companies and even
Governments are taking drastic measures in spam control. The
most recent evidence of this is the Canspam Act which was passed
by the US Senate early in 2004.
If you look at what most people used the Internet for you'll
find the vast majority of online activity is sending and
receiving email. Email has become the lifeblood of modern
society. An interesting social experiment would be to see what
happens to a group of young professional people who suddenly
have all means of electronic communication taken away from them.
Email has become as much a part of our lives as the e (read full article) |

SP*M is the scourge of the Internet. Everyone hates SP*M. Even
SPA*MERS hate SP*M!
For the average email user it's an annoyance. But for the
Internet marketer it represents a serious threat. If you're
sending ezines, autoresponder messages or solo ads as a means of
building your business, then there's every chance that between
10% and 50% of your recipients never get your email.
It's the SP*M blockers you see.
More and more email users have installed SP*M blockers to
prevent all the thrash from ever reaching their inbox. Likewise,
an ever-increasing number of ISPs use similar technology to
protect their users.

What is the Fuss?
I am a young surfer, barely six-months old. But I already know
that spamming is a sin, soon to be made a crime. However, as an
adult who has been around for quite sometime, I really do not
understand the logic of it all.
What is wrong with sending decent emails to strangers? It’s
because they have not asked for it. But are banners, pop-ups and
pop-unders solicited? Yeah! How about TV advertising? You didn’t
ask for them either, did you? These, mind you, are PAID for. Are
you saying that paying someone to deliver th (read full article) |

|
Lets face it as much as we all rely on email communications it
is not really a reliable technology.
Why Should I care about RSS Feeds SPAM and viruses have wreaked
havoc with a communication medium and reduced its value. Users
have become admittedly paranoid about privacy issues and have
begun "tuning out" and mentally filtering mail. What this means
is that vendors really ought to begin exploring alternatives
means of communciation in order to be heard. One of these
alternatives is RSS or Really Simple Syndication.
While I'm not suggesting that you abandon email I think that
many might want to consider RSS feeds as well. Because RSS Feeds

| Article Title :: The Anti-Spam Zealots who went to the FTC Spam Forum |
| |
|
On the three days from April 30 through Friday, May 2, 2003,
the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) held a "Spam Forum" in
Washington, D.C.
According to the FTC website, the purpose of this forum was "to
address the proliferation of unsolicited commercial e-mail and
to explore the technical, legal, and financial issues associated
with it."
While the FTC and other government entities try to figure out
how they can legally address the Spam issue, they are doing so
without consulting with those of us who run small businesses
online. Of the 97 people who spoke at the forum, the majority
was technicians and lawyers who represent the ISP's and
Anti-Spam companies. A few of the people even represe (read full article) |
