Spam, also known as unsolicited commercial Email, is a common problem for all internet users today. The only difference is that while some get a little bit of spam, some get huge amounts of spam every day. The bottom line however is that if a person has an Email id, they will face the issue of spam. According to statistics, there have been times when the top internet service providers have blocked more than 3 billion spam messages (more than 100 per subscriber) in a single day. Most people see unwanted ads for weight loss, hair gain, ridiculous discounts, etc. in their Emails. These mails are classic cases of Spam and yet make their way through the spam filters which are present in every email id.
The biggest problem of spam is that it is extremely annoying and if one has a public Email address, they receive more spams than the legitimate ones that arrive each day. The biggest control factor for these spams are the Email filters. The better filters manage to keep most of the spam out. However, despite of having the best filters, some spam always manages to bombard their way through into the inboxes of users.
The main question which is asked by most users is where does all this spam come from, how can one stop spam and how come there is so much it spam. The main reason why so much spam exists is that it is extremely easy to create and spread and even a novice could become an effective spammer in a couple of hours. When it comes to blocking and stopping spam, the best way to do it is having effective spam filters in place. One can also reduce their spam problems by not putting out their Email ids in unwanted sites and third party web sites.
