The future of spam
      Fri Jul 06 2007 11:10 AM

May I suggest an in-depth article about the on-going increase in spam levels?

Over the years I have, as have many others, noted with sadness the number of spam messages getting through despite the use of filters on whichever program is employed.(Fairly useless IMO) The majority of people are aware of "Mailwasher" and similar downloadable programmes but even they tend to become less effective in dealing with the problem when the increase is so large.

Therefore I ask, is spam ever going to be controllable (20 years or more hence) or are we condemned to be eliminating it from our inboxes for ever more AND in increasing quantities?

To make this question personal: Probably due to my taking part in 12 forums on the 'net my email address has been trawled and in the past 6 months spam messages have increased from 20 to 60/day on average. It is therefore why I have 5 different email addresses but it fails to diminish the quantity of rubbish.

Regards, Peter Charles Fagg
