SPAM CRISIS ROOTED IN HTML MAIL

摘要

Spammers are finding new ways to fool e-mail filters and HTML mail is the most common tool used in getting offending messages through gateways, says an expert examining the problem. During an Aug. 26 Webcast hosted by Vancouver-based Ac-tiveState Corp., Dr. John Gra-ham-Cumming discussed ways spammers are tricking spam filter programs. About 80 to 90 per cent of all spam is being sent using HTML, said Graham-Gumming.
