Title: Blue Security - the anti spam war
Post by: Alegis on 07 May 2006, 06:12
So, who's been using blue security for a long time or jumped on the band wagon after the recent Digg posts?

Blue Frog, from Blue Security is a tool to 'report spam' to the security firm, which then launches complaints to the spammer sponsers to take the address off the list.

After reading http://www.techweb.com/wire/security/187002643;jsessionid=K0WEHMOEA4G20QSNDBCSKHSCJUMEKJVN , I got convinced it had to be working. Of course when I wanted to try it out the servers were temporarily down thanks to an attack.

As for spam and my inbox, sometimes one pops in at inbox, but I'm annoyed by all the other mails in the spam folder.
