What is Spam? How to Keep Calm and Defend?

Spam is one of the most frustrating problems in the modern Internet. Spam origins, its types and actions you can do to avoid it are described below.

Definition and history of spam

Spam is the commonly used term for unsolicited bulk email. Its purpose is gathering live email addresses for further sale to advertising companies or spamming these emails with ads of some websites or products . According to several researches, up to 90% of emails sent daily are spam and more than 80% of email addresses are also spam, so major part of it hits the air.

Yet a huge amount of spam usually arrives to everyone’s mailbox and many computers send spam without their owners even knowing of the matter until being put into a spam blacklist.

In fact, the word SPAM was well known to several generations already. It was, and still is, a popular brand of canned meat and bacon. It was very actively advertized some time ago and Monty Python performed a sketch about it, where one of the characters screamed: “I want no SPAM!”. Unsolicited bulk email caused the same reaction in people, so the word spam was associated with it.

From the first days of the Internet, it was obvious that the system of sending emails to multiple recipients at once with little to no expenses is the best tool for advertising. Therefore, since the early ARPANET and USENET networks, spam ads are regularly sent, more than 100 billion emails daily. First thought of as just a form of active advertising, spam email messages soon became the true disaster of the Internet.

What can be done to stop spam?

As some portion of the world benefits from unlimited traffic hosting packages, a huge list of countries still is not able to provide anything better than limited plans. Traffic of such packages vanishes in minutes, should their purchasers become victims of spam. While being officially recognized as fraud and abuse, spam is still not punishable in most countries worldwide.

Despite several sound jury verdicts, putting several dozens of people in US, UK and Russia behind grates for many years, number of spammers grows steadily.

How to stop spam texts?

The usual way of providing spam protection is using multiple filters and adding new ones when spammers learn to avoid the old ones. As incoming mail protocol has no authentication, spammers sometimes spoof headers to pretend they sent that email from a valid email address. This is done because mailservers track the last known connection of the sending mailserver by the IP address.

Why is it so irritating?

Receiving literally tons of spam emails to your mailbox regularly can be frustrating, but becoming the relay is much more irritating, as it may end you being blacklisted and unable to send your valid email any more. Therefore, a reliable hosting service is required to avoid becoming a part of the botnet.
