Spam Filtering

I have noticed as I am sure everyone else is noticing, that SPAM is now misspelling words or rearranging words to get past current SPAM filters.  You would think the next step would to put in a spell checked type system at the mail server level.  With a misspelled word thresh-hold.  We all have spell checkers on our mail programs.  This would then get us to use them more and allow the blocking of SPAM with unrecognized words in it, which for the most part is almost every SPAM message I get.

I am not familiar with the current filtering processes of SPAM but does this not seem like a logical way to go or am I just having serious brain seepage?

  • The only way to eliminate spam is to shift the paradigm from a user subscribing to a newsletter to a publisher subscribing to an email address. Until then, all efforts are futile and only make the problem worse.
