| Summary |
"This is a book for people whose mailboxes are full of junk messages. It's a book for people who are upset that they can't find the on-topic postings in their once-helpful Usenet newsgroups and fear that the community of newsgroup readers will dissolve in disgust. And it's a book for system and network administrators, and Internet service providers (ISPs) who are concerned about the growing toll that spam is taking on their systems - and are looking for a way to put an end to it once and for all." "In addition to technical details, you'll find entertaining stories of the Green Card Lottery, the "Spam King," famous Internet chain letters, and court cases."--Jacket |
