::Fewer Spams

Monday, December 06, 2004

Every morning as I checked my inbox, the first thing I often do was to block and delete my blog's spammers messages. Since I'm an MT user running version 2.661 (no time to upgrade to the latest version), I can click the link directly from my mails and let MT-Blacklist by Jay Allen removed unwanted entries. But, somehow, those spammers found a way to replace what I have deleted by more spam messages!

Lately, I manually added words (e.g. viagra, nude teens, casino, gambling, etc.) and sender's mail domain name to the MT-Blacklist and so far, I have noticed that fewer and fewer mails greeted me in the morning... try it, it might work with you, too!

Meanwhile, Erwin Lemuel Oliva of INQ7.net reported about Anti-spam provisions added to RP cybercrime bill:

"The anti-spam provision is the latest addition to the pending cybercrime measure that hopes to impose stiffer penalties against Internet-related crimes, according to Virgilio Peña, chief of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT).

Representative Simeon Kintanar of the House of Representatives and Senator Ramon Magsaysay Jr. were among the lawmakers being sought as sponsors for the cybercrime bill"

Also, I have noticed that almost everyday, I kept receiving Winner Notification and Nigeria-related scam mails about huge deposits by deceased depositors. Please do not entertain these kind of money winning notifications.
