Opt-in email is mail that
you either requested or agreed to receive. Think about online
newsletters you subscribe to, emails from companies with whom you
do business, breaking news emails from CNN.com, or personal email
from family and friends. That's legitimate email.
Opt-out email is completely unsolicited mail that appears
in your inbox offering you "services" like university diplomas,
easy credit, or mail order medicines guaranteed to jump start your
personal life. To get off these lists, you have to petition the
sender to remove you, hence the term "Opt-out." Of course,
sometimes even that doesn't work: it just tells the spammer that
your email address is valid.
Many people wonder how they possibly get on these lists. Often,
the culprit are email spiders. They search through the HTML code of
websites and save to a file everything that looks like an email
address. They crawl through message boards, Web sites, and any
online forum that might contain email addresses. The spiders search
the Web until they have extracted a certain number of email
addresses. Then they triumphantly crawl back to their evil masters
with a list of victims.
SPAM Fighter generates a list of around 100 fake email
addresses. When the robot adds the fake addresses to the list and
sends out SPAM, the SPAM sender will receive around 100 return
email addresses. Because of this the spammer will get discouraged
since he has to search for the fake email addresses.
Um E-Mail-Adressen für den
Versand von Massen-E-Mails zu erhalten, durchsuchen viele Firmen
mit Suchmaschinen den HTML-Code von Websites und speichern
alles, was auf Grund des Codemusters "href='mailto:username@domainname.suffix'"
als
E-Mail-Adresse erkennbar ist.
SPAM-Fighter erzeugt eine Liste von ungefähr 100
Scheinadressen. Wenn diese zu der Adressliste des Spam-Automaten
hinzugefügt sind und E-Mails an sie gesandt werden, wird der
Absender 100 Rück-E-Mails mit einer Fehlermeldung erhalten.
Dies wird sicherlich nicht zu seiner Ermutigung beitragen, mit dem
unerwünschten Adressenfang fortzufahren.
