ISPs at risk over spam deluge
Growing numbers of businesses and individuals are complaining that the anti-spam solutions provided by their Internet service providers (ISPs) are letting through far too much junk email, according to Australian data security expert Peter Stewart.
Chairman of TotalBlock Pty Ltd, Stewart believes the problem lies in the ISPs? use of filtering technology to block spam, rather than the far more effective challenge-response method, while some ISPs are not using an anti-spam system. His company is challenging Australian ISPs to trial its TotalBlock anti-spam solution, which cuts out all unauthorised incoming email messages while losing no legitimate traffic.
