 | | One of the most common ad spams is the computer software program GAIN. | | | Spamming an internet forum in general, is when a user posts something which is off-topic or doesn’t have anything to do with the current subject. | | | The infected machines can often be used as remote-controlled zombie computers, for more conventional spamming or DDoS attacks. |

Title |
| | The highest levels of spam were generally received on the oldest sub-domain, while the lowest levels of spam were generally received on the newest sub-domain. | | | The spam problem might be addressed through technologies that sort incoming email according to sender, rejecting email from unknown senders or placing it in a separate mailbox. | | | If this occurs, current filtering solutions are likely to become largely ineffective and many individuals will likely become overwhelmed by spam to the point that their electronic mailboxes are useless to them. |

| | (WO 99/33188) APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DELIVERY OF UNSOLICITED ELECTRONIC MAIL |
| | (57) In a system and method and system for controlling delivery of unsolicited electronic mail messages, one or more spam probe e-mail addresses are created and planted at various sites on the communications network in order to insure their inclusion on large-scale electronic junk mail ("spam") mailing lists. | | | Upon receipt of incoming mail addressed to the spam probe addresses, the spam control center automatically analyzes the received spam e-mail to identify the source of the message, extracts the spam source data from the message, and generates an alert signal containing the spam source data. | | | A filtering system implemented at the servers and/or user terminals receives the alert signal, updates stored filtering data using the spam source data retrieved from the alert signal, and controls delivery of subsequently-received e-mail messages received from the identified spam source. |
