[Qt-interest] SPAMMER

[Atlant Schmidt]

Peter:

  Spam production, like any other software activity (any
  other human activity?) continues to evolve and every
  so often, the spammers invent some new technique that
  gets past the existing filters. But just as a species's
  immune system adapts to a new pathogen, spam filters
  are adapted by their engineers as well, restoring the
  status quo.

  You're right; of late, spam has been getting past some
  of the spam filters, but it's not peculiar to this list;
  I've seen it on my work E-mail and on my iPhone email
  as well. But if the usual paradigm holds, it will abate
  again.

Hi, Bastian
my provider has a good filter, but in the last two weeks, the number of
spams grows extremly (Spam filter is set to agressive on my provider
account). I also have a separate spam folder in my account, which is
very well filled with spam, but in the last weeks, the filters seems to
be not really good....

Regards,
Peter
