E-mail Spam

E-mail Spam is defined as an unsolicited bulk mail (UBM) or junk e-mail. In other words it is an unwanted messages with commercial content. Spam e-mail promotes things like adult websites, financial deals and get-rich quick schemes. People who send spam are known as Spammers. For many users of internet, junk e-mail is becoming a big problem that existing laws do not prevent but regulations will soon be introduced to make it more difficult for people to send. Recipients of spam are also turning to self-help remedies. These include 'mail bombing' spammers, there by tying up the spammer's site and/or 'Flaming' spammers on news-boards and sites. The flood of unwanted and annoying e-mail sent by spammers costs corporate organizations by both lowering productivity and consuming expensive information technology resources, and it presents a potential legal liability.
E-mail Spam today is sent by "zombie network", networks of virus or worm-infected personal computers in homes and offices in the globe.
