Thrusted mail ?Thrusted mail ?Posted May 8, 2004 16:56 UTC (Sat) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)In reply to: Thrusted mail ? by bockman Parent article: 82% of email is spam Your system doesn't even require signatures. It's exactly what I do today, based on the from: header. The from: header is successfully forged (i.e. has one of the 2,000 addresses in my white list) in less than 1% of my spam. But I still have a big problem. I route the stranger mail to a special folder, which I check daily, but there are 250 spams a day. I've had to start automatically deleting some of it (e.g. any all-html email), but that's risky. I think people who believe the only interesting email they will get is from acquaintances lack imagination. You can't just delete mail from strangers; you have to spend some time looking at it to see if it's spam. I occasionally have my outgoing emails bounced by overzealous spam filters, and in every case the recipient would have been glad to get my email.
