Anyone with a home for recently homeless Send-Safe spam tool?

November 18th, 2007 I used to receive around 5,000-7,000 spams daily on angsuman [at] taragana [dot] com email which is publicly available on the internet. It was consuming too many productive hours daily to fight spam.

July 28th, 2004 For quite sometime naive bayesian classifier based SPAMBayes filtered my emails very accurately with very few false positives. Recently however I have noticed few trends in spamming which are alarming in nature.

March 2nd, 2009 I got this interesting spam in my comments today: Please, do not delete the given message. Money obtained from spam will go to the help hungry to children ugandf What do I do? I figured someone who can stoop so low as to spam is not likely to donate his ill-gotten wealth.

July 8th, 2005 I received a strange comment (spam) from an user nicknamed John complimenting this blog. He provided his web address as www.yahoo.com and gave his email as john@yahoo.com.

January 19th, 2008 SplogSpot is service that keeps track of spam blogs or Splogs. The splogspot spam database can be queried by using the SplogSpot API.

November 3rd, 2007 We are tweaking our postfix servers to offer maximum spam protection upfront with helo checks, header checks, blacklist checks, RBL's and more. So far my daily spam count has dropped from about 3000-7000 spams / day to about 15-35 spams per day.

December 18th, 2004 A wonderful christmas/hanukkah present I must say :) http://tech.nytimes.com/aponline/technology/AP-Spam-Lawsuit.html Looks like if you are in Iowa you can claim damages of 10 $ per spam! Wondering if I should shift my residence to IOWA. Looking at the amount of spam I get I could be a millionaire in no time :)

March 14th, 2005 I receive daily several thousands of spam emails on debt consolidation, mortgage and on organ enhancement advice/pills for organs I do not possess. I have been offered millions by unknown Nigerians, offered services I do not care about, images which were bad enough to spoil my day! I manage to filter most of them daily using SpamBayes, a naive bayesian filter integrated closely with Outlook.

July 5th, 2006 Today I received a spam (attempting to get my IP address and user accounts of my work machine / server) which stands out for its novelty as well as extremely poor execution. I think the spammers will have much greater chance of success by taking an introductory course in English.

December 24th, 2004 I have been unable to submit a comment in a site with spam karma enabled. So I wrote a comment in the spam karma plugin site.

December 20th, 2007 Ever since we installed Comment Guard Pro, anti comment-spam plugin on this blog, it stopped over 1 millon spam comments (1001011 spam comments were blocked by Angsuman's Comment Guard plugin in 335 days 8 hours 38 minutes. 99.338 % of the comments received during this time were spam.) so far (look in the right sidebar for latest stats).

April 20th, 2006 The US and China are competing for leadership as the top spam relaying countries. This is a leadership which I am sure US wouldn't mind relinquising and it is improving.

March 18th, 2005 A discussion on a failure vector of naive bayesian classifiers

February 12th, 2005 I accidentally stumbled upon a site ( spam-guard[dot]blogspot[dot]com ) which exists for the sole purpose of spamming. It is a spam blog or splog! For sometime spammers have targeted blogs, first through comment spam and now increasingly through trackback spam.
