| A company actually advertises "certified" spam free email.
Who certifies spam free services anyway? There is no
entity, which certifies such a service. This is just
misleading the end-user. |
| Spam cannot be eliminated after it reaches your email
client program, i.e. Microsoft Outlook. After all it had to arrive on your
machine to begin with, meaning you just received spam. Rather than being
eliminated it may be filtered to another box by so-called spam elimination
programs. In other words, it is simply placed in a separate folder away from
your Inbox. Who has to time to shuffle through hundreds, if not thousands, of
messages to find something that was not spam in the first place? Millions of
others just like you and I feel the same way. |

Stopping spam means blocking messages at the mail server before it reaches the
anticipated recipient. The methodology used by some other
companies is not the answer. To demonstrate, the following paragraph
explains their theory in a simpler form. |
| Assume you use a local branch of the United States Parcel
Service to receive all your mail. As the postmaster receives mail addressed to
you, he analyzes it. A letter addressed to you is very strange based on the
previous history of the mail you receive. He locates the return address and
begins to fill out a postcard, which he will send to the sender.
The postcard states that if the original letter that he/she (the sender)
sent is from a legitimate person to contact the postmaster and provide the
randomly generated number found on the postcard. If the sender
complies, the original letter is placed in your box as legitimate mail
and not as spam ("junk mail"). See a problem here?
Why is the SENDER making this decision? |
|
The correct solution is for the RECIPIENT (You) to decide if
the message is legitimate and not the other way around! |
