Report: Spam, Spammers, and Spam Control

Just about anybody with an email address knows about spam and spam filters—or at least they think they do. However, it is a complex subject, with far more to it than meets the eye.

This Ferris Research white paper looks at spam: what it is, how it is sent, and how it is filtered. It unravels the complexities and gives an accessible, factual overview into the scourge of spam.

The paper also includes an interview with John Maddison, vice president of Core Technology Solutions at Trend Micro, relating his perspectives on spam and spam control.

Report 810. 9 pages.

    Just tested on two different PCs. Seems to work fine here.

    Let me know if you’re still having trouble.

    I just tried downloading the report “Spam, Spammers and Spam Control”. It did not successfully download. It said the file was corrupt and could not be downloaded.
