Presents an inside look at spam, covering such topics as creating and sending a spam message, spam filters, the CAN-SPAM law, tracking spam, the effect of spam on mail servers, and the future of spam.
Spammer_X, as edited by security expert Posluns, offers no regrets for his misspent life but does offer penance by way of describing how spam and spammers work, including how they set up their marks and deliver messages through proxy servers, messenger systems, and stolen IP blocks. He shows how spammers and crackers work together to get inside information and verify lists. He then describes how spammers prepare texts and formats and encode messages that will be opened and read by the uninitiated. He has the unmitigated gall of including a chapter about how to get paid as a spammer, and then gets down to ways to thwart spam through filtering, advanced spam evasion techniques, the law in the form of CAN-SPAM and other possibilities for revenge, and spam's real cost and other statistics.

From the Author: "You may hate spam and think all spammers are evil, but listen to my story and see why I do this and more importantly, HOW."
For most people, the term "SPAM" conjures up the image of hundreds of annoying, and at times offensive, e-mails flooding their inbox every week.
