Russian SPAM has become one of the most dangerous ones flooding your e-mail box. From ordinary advertising to different virus definitions it harms everiones mailbox and takes a lot of your time and ISP’s resourses.

“Our business email addres is being flooded by Russian spam, despite being filtered through Spamcop.net first. I can’t report the spam using webmail as the messages are forwarded to our mail server, so the offending messages do not stay on the server. I have now started reporting the spam through my own “attachment fowarding” spamcop account, but it still keeps coming”, posts Martin in a popular web forum.

Four years ago in 2002, a US researchers from Center for Democracy and Technology found that e-mail addresses posted on websites or in newsgroups attract the most spam. They estimated that up to 40% of global e-mail traffic is caused by spammin messages bringing headache for businesses, which are losing billions in productivity.

eWeek says that 86 % of spam sent to enterprises between May and July 2004 came from U.S. spammers, according to a survey by CipherTrust Inc. It sampled about 5 million pieces of spam sent to 1,000 e-mail boxes. Just 3 % of spam came from China and Hong Kong.
