We all know that spammers will do whatever it takes to find a way to send their advertisements and scams to potential victims. Spammers are circumventing methods services like Gmail, HotMail, and Yahoo use to stop automated spam to the point that even legitimate users of these services are unwitting victims of anti-spam.
Larry Seltzer at eWeek posted a blog Spammers Sidestep SMTP about what happens when spammers start using free Web-based services such as Gmail, HotMail, and Yahoo mail systems to send spam. Seltzer suggests new tests need to be developed to check for “humanness” — or perhaps a change in how e-mail is sent and received are potential solutions.
