Spam- An E-marketing Plague
Largely associated with e-mail marketing, unsolicited junk e-mail, more commonly known as spam, is a ubiquitous presence in almost every e-mail inbox. The computer group lab at the University of Southern California compares spam to the lunchmeat Spam, as according to them, ?sometimes it is actually tasty, like 1% of junk mail that is really useful to some people?. However, organizations both large and small are forced to deal with this problem, and in terms of the costs it involves to take care of spam, it is not even one percent edible or tasty.
Unwanted mail, while being the source of malicious scripts and viruses also consumes a considerable fraction of the company?s internet bandwidth. Important mails are frequently kept on hold while unwanted mails are being downloaded. Spam not only steals system resources, it also reduces the productivity of the organization. According to an IDC paper estimate, one in every five e-mail messages a person receives is spam, and on an average an employee spends five seconds deleting each spam message.

How To Get E-mail Spam Banned At Subconscious Level
I don?t think I have to tell you that spam sucks big time. It sucks so much that people hate spam and spammers.

Spam will continue spreading as far as it makes profit. If nobody buys from spammers or acts upon their scams, spam will end. This is the obvious and easiest way to fight spam. You can ignore and delete spam emails you receive. But you can also take vengeance on the spammer by complaining to the spammer's Internet Service Provider (ISP). The ISP will block their connection and maybe impose a fine (depending on the ISP's acceptable usage policy). Spammers beware of such complaints and try to disguise their messages. That's why finding the right ISP is not always easy.
