加载中…Soaking in Spam
unsolicited bulk e-mail ads. Richter's
insouciance and general
visibility-his phone number is posted on his Web site-suggests
an unpleasant fact about the eternal cat-and-mouse
game that the Internet's spam war has became; the nefarious
mouse is winning, and it's not even a close race. In the past two
years spam has congested the Internet, threatened to
overwhelm Internet service providers and sent Web surfers of
sensitive disposition scampering away from their computers in
embarrassment.
垃圾邮件泛滥
面对数不清的不请自来的电子邮件广告,网络也无可奈何.里科特的无忧无虑和一般的可见的电话号码放置到了他的网站--垃圾邮件之战,一个没完没了的折磨人的游戏令人不愉快的事件已经开始了.垃圾邮件一方赢了,但是这离这场战争的结束为时尚早.在过去的两年中垃圾邮件布满了整个网络,威胁着因特网服务供应商并迫使敏感的网上冲浪人员在阻碍下不再使用他们的电脑.

The forces who say
they hate spam-politicians, tech companies, beleaguered
e-mail users and anti-spam vigilantes who spend their own
time and money trying to clean up the Net-haven't managed to
make a dent in the problem. Current approaches
aren't working;
11>.congest
even though home users and many companies started
filtering their e-mail two years age, the overall amount of
junk mail has ballooned exponentially. Filtering and antivirus
companies always seem one step behind the rapidly evolving methods
of clever spammers. And most individual lawsuits against spammers
have been defeated, settled or concluded with penalties
unpaid and bulk e-mailing operations open for business. Current
weapons aren't working-but there's hope.
这些人--他们讨厌垃圾邮件的的策划者,科技公司,围攻电子邮件的使用者,并且反垃圾邮件的战士--花费自己的时间和金钱尝试着清理网络---迄今为止还没能削弱这个问题.现在的方法不起作用.
尽管家庭用户和许多公司开始过滤他们的电子邮件已经两年了,但总的垃圾邮件的数量却以指数的形势增长着.过滤和反病毒公司看似总落后一步于快速发展的的狡猾的垃圾邮件.同时,很多关于抵制垃圾邮件的个人诉讼要么败诉了,要么和解了,还有的判以尚未支付罚款的处罚和由于商业要求大多数邮件公司尚未裁定.现在的武器并未见效--但却有希望在垃圾邮件于反垃圾邮件的战役中战胜垃圾邮件.
