Spammers getting smarter

I wanted to talk about spam for a few moments. There is a format of spam out there that is getting through the server filters and workstation junk mail filters. This form of spam is what many are calling it, "undeliverable spam". The spammer has already verified that your email account exists. When he sends you spam, it goes right the junk mail folder or is scrapped by the server so what the spammer will do is send out spam to an email address that does not exist like [email protected] and in the sender data they will put your email address as the person that sent the message.

The message is naturally rejected by Yahoo! and is sent back to the sender as "Undeliverable:..." and since those kinds of messages are usually legitimate, your spam filter won't block it and thus your inbox is flooded with spam. The user is even more anxious to see what's going on when they see undeliverable and want to know what they sent that didn't make it. So spam filters don't block it and the spammers get you to read the message. This is common and the only resolution is to create a filter and places all messages with "Undeliverable" in the subject line in the Junk folder.

Good luck blocking spam, it's a full time job.
