Spam: Where it Came From, and How to Escape It
By: Beka Ruse
In 1936, long before the rise of the personal computer,
Hormel Foods created SPAM. In 2002, the company will produce
it's six billionth can of the processed food product. But
that mark was passed long ago in the world of Internet spam.
Who Cooked This!? (How did it all start?)
The modern meaning of the word "spam" has nothing to do with
spiced ham. In the early 1990's, a skit by British comedy
group Monty Python led to the word's common usage. "The SPAM
Skit" follows a couple struggling to order dinner from a
menu consisting entirely of Hormel's canned ham.
Repetition is key to the skit's hilarity. The actors cram
the word "SPAM" into the 2.5 minute skit more than 104 times!
This flood prompted Usenet readers to call unwanted newsgroup
postings "spam." The name stuck.
Spammers soon focused on e-mail, and the terminology moved
with them. Today, the word has come out of technical
obscurity. Now, "spam" is the common term for "Unsolicited
Commercial E-Mail", or "UCE."
Why Does Bad Spam Happen to Good People?
Chances are, you've been spammed before. Somehow, your
e-mail address has found it's way into the hands of a
spammer, and your inbox is suffering the consequences.
How does this happen? There are several possibilities.
Backstabbing Businesses
Businesses often keep lists of their customers' e-mail
addresses. This is a completely legitimate practice and,
usually, nothing bad comes of it. Sometimes though, the
temptation to make a quick buck is too great, and these
lists are sold or rented to outside advertisers. The
result? A lot of unsolicited e-mail, and a serious breach
of trust.
Random Address Generation
Computer programs called random address generators simply
"guess" e-mail addresses. Over 100 million hotmail
addresses exist - howhard could it be to guess some of
them? Unfortunately for many unsuspecting netizens - not
too hard. Many spammers also guess at
"standard" addresses, like "support@yourdomain.com",
"info@yourdomain.com", and "billing@yourdomain.com."
Web Spiders
Today's most insidious list-gathering tools are web
spiders. All of the major search engines spider the
web, saving information about each page. Spammers use
tools that also spider the web, but save any e-mail
address they come across. Your personal web page lists
your e-mail address? Prepare for an onslaught!
Chat Room Harvesting
ISP's offer vastly popular chat rooms where users are
known only by their screen names. Of course, spammers
know that your screen name is the first part of your
e-mail address. Why waste time guessing e-mail
addresses when a few hours of lurking in a chat room
can net a list of actively-used addresses?
The Poor Man's Bad Marketing Idea
It didn't work for the phone companies, and it won't
work for e-mail marketers. But, some spammers still
keep their own friends-and-family-style e-mail lists.
Compiled from the addresses of other known spammers,
and people or businesses that the owner has come across
in the past, these lists are still illegitimate. Why?
Only you can give someone permission to send you e-mail.
A friend-of-a-friend's permission won't cut it.
Stop The Flood to Your Inbox
Already drowning in spam? Try using your e-mail client's
filters - many provide a way to block specific e-mail
addresses. Each time you're spammed, block the sender's
address. Spammers skip from address to address, and you
may be on many lists, but this method will at least slow
the flow.
Also, use more than one e-mail address, and keep one
"clean." Many netizens find that this technique turns
the spam flood into a trickle. Use one address for only
spam-safe activities like e-mailing your friends, or
signing on with trustworthy businesses. Never use your
clean address on the web! Get a free address to use on
the web and in chat rooms.
If nothing else helps, consider changing screen names,
or opening an entirely new e-mail account. When you do,
you'll start with a clean, spam-free slate. This time,
protect your e-mail address!
Stay Off Spammed Lists in the Future
Want to surf the web without getting sucked into the
spam-flood? Prevention is your best policy. Don't use
an easy-to-guess e-mail address. Keep your address clean
by not using it for spam-centric activities. Don't post
it on any web pages, and don't use it in chat rooms or
newsgroups.
Before giving your clean e-mail address to a business,
check the company out. Are sections of its user agreement
dedicated to anti-spam rules? Does a privacy policy
explain exactly what will be done with your address?
The most considerate companies also post an anti-spam
policy written in plain English, so you can be absolutely
sure of what you're getting into.
Think You're Not a Spammer? Be Sure.
Many a first-time marketer has inadvertently spammed his
audience. The first several hundred complaints and some
nasty phone messages usually stop him in his tracks. But
by then, the spammer may be faced with cleanup bills from
his ISP, and a bad reputation that it's not easy to overcome.
The best way to avoid this situation is to have a clear
understanding of what spam is: If anyone who receives your
mass e-mails did not specifically ask to hear from you,
then you are spamming them.
Stick with your gut. Don't buy a million addresses for $10,
no matter how much the seller swears by them! If something
sounds fishy, just say no. You'll save yourself a lot in
the end.
The Final Blow
The online world is turning the tide on spam. In the end,
people will stop sending spam because it stops working. Do
your part: never buy from a spammer. When your business
seeks out technology companies with which to work, only
choose those with a staunch anti-spam stance.
Spam has a long history in both the food and e-mail sectors.
This year, Hormel Foods opened a real-world museum dedicated
to SPAM. While the museum does feature the Monty Python SPAM
Skit, there's no word yet on an unsolicited commercial e-mail
exhibit. But, if all upstanding netizens work together,
Hormel's ham in a can will far outlive the Internet plague
that is UCE.

JOKE OF THE DAY
-----------------------------------------------------------
A three year old walked over to a pregnant lady while
waiting with his mother in the doctors office.
He inquisitively ask the lady, "Why is your stomach so big?"
She replied, "Im having a baby."
With big eyes, he asked, "Is the baby in your stomach?"
She said, "He sure is."
Then the little boy, with a puzzled look, asked,
"Is it a good baby?"
She said, "Oh, yes. It's a real good baby."
With an even more surprised and shocked look, he asked...
"Then why did you eat him?"
