I just found this in my archives. Lest we forget, eh? Take a close look at those people. Wondering what happened to them?

Triple Point Relies on Rss

"Like Triple Point, an increasing number of corporations are using RSS feeds as a way to distribute information internally and externally."

Cheap as chips. And as email become more and more useless, a great method of tuning into the hum of an organisation.

Sexual spam could spark lawsuits

"On average, employees get 20 spam e-mails per day."

Via the BBC, they seem to be saying that about 2 emails a day are porno pictures. I guess that would be the same here. And they talk about staff leaving their email addresses all over the place.

Once the spammer's have you, there isn't much that can be done, other than Bayesian Filters but these take time to learn good stuff from bad, only a few days, but in a large org, it'll be down to the server admins to sort out. Easy for some spam, but hard for the cleverer spammer. And after all it's an arms race, you could never fully rid yourself of spam and still keep the false positives to zero. Once your address has been gobbled up, it's time to get another, and to use the already exposed address for pasting into website log in fields, and the other for using in the reply addresses for legitimate emails.

Careful management of the Bayesian Filters and rules in outlook routing emailing into different folders as well as the two addresses trick above is the method I'm using to stop the spam.

[Later:] and also by the BBC: Spammers use classic prose to defeat Bayesian filters.
It doesn't take long, does it?
