Talk about a slap in the face! Spammers have figured out how to use an anti-spam trap against those who seek to thwart them. It’s true, apparently they have been able to pass their junk mail of to filters put into place as legit email. Boy those spammers are clever!
A survey shows that spammers are the biggest users of a technique designed to find out if e-mail comes from the net address it says it does.
The system was developed to stop mail senders faking the address in e-mail messages to give them an aura of authenticity and fool spam filters.However, the system is proving good at stopping spoofing and phishing attacks.
