SPAM – How to stop SPAM from your own company
June 13, 2009
Most corporate networks have a larger budget for IT and can afford complex anti-SPAM devices. Over the past five years, those devices have been developed for the small business market, with more economical prices, yet they are still esoteric and not easy to get up and running.
A new SPAM tactic exists wherein the company or business that has its own email domain, receives strange emails from themselves. For instance – the email will be delivered from themselves, with a subject that is completely unfamiliar.
This has grown into a problem because there is an Internet email technology that moves mail and therefore SPAM, that was not well structured. It assumes that all email is real and good. This has been gowing stale over the past year… A long time since the invention of email. A new initiative has been put together to fix this problem. It is called OpenSPF, and after reading through their approach and solution, it seems the majority of the SPAM that arrives to you email address, with your own email address in the From field, can now be stopped. More on this we time goes on, but some companies actually adopted this to improve the quality of their email delivery – to reduce SPAM significantly.
