| E-Mail
marketing companies, mailing lists, unwanted mail,
whatever the source or reason somehow we receive
this amazing amount of electronic junk mail also
known as Spam. Whether they want you to sign up
for a new service, join a club, look at photos,
sell you merchandise, or even the spread of infectous
programs such as virii or trojans, we do not care
for their sending us their unwanted mail. |
| How
can we stop it? Unsubscribing to these sources
only seems to increase the frequency that we receive
them. Sometimes when we unsubscribe we receive
even a greater amount of unwanted mail and by
more sources. Unsubscribing, as a rule of thumb,
does not work. |
| Philter
is a solution that is affordable and reliable
to address this problem. Philter uses a technology
called DNSBL, which checks the IP address of an
incoming mail connection. It then verifies that
this IP address, and it's corresponding host IP
address is not listed in a Black-Listed database.
If so, the connection is not permitted and the
potential SPAM is avoided. |
| There
are opponents to using DNSBL technolgy claiming
that they are falsly blacklisted, but if an IP
address is listed in the database, it can easily
be removed by a host administrator. Proponents
for DNSBL claim that it is a proven technology
and feel strongly about the ability to prevent
unwanted email. Megaphat joins the proponents
of DNSBL and has experienced a 92% reduction in
SPAM with the use of the Megaphat Philter Gateway
service. |
