We may have less spams for a while

It is good to know that "Zombie king suspect alleged to have sent 18 million spams per day".

Ever since I started online, I have experienced with hundreds of spam daily. Of course, for some months, the number fell to less than fifty. This would take a few minutes for me to clear them from my mailbox. One friend had said that spams cost him a few hours daily. My response was that he must had read those porno instead of deleting them instantly. With experience, we just look at the title or the sender to confirm whether to delete it. Spending time to read the whole email is just an excuse to see if there is any porno image only.

Marketing by email is the best method. Certainly, we cannot have a method to stop bad guys taking the same way. I do enjoy reading marketing emails. It is part of the information to know new things.

This is a personal choice. For me, I never use filters and I do like to read scam emails. Unfortunately, they are not so creative as before.

One thing is certain, there is no way to stop spams. Just to keep them down to a lower number will be good enough for most of us.
